My name is Peter, or as many know me, Poultry Pete!
I’m a devoted husband to a beautiful wife, loving father to three precious children, local school teacher to hundreds of budding students and last but not least, master breeder to thousands of stunning chickens.
It all started when I was eight years old. I was a hyperactive child whose energy was absorbed and positively directed into the breeding of rare chickens.
I started out with my first trio of beautiful Polish fowls back in 1973. Over the ensuing 51 years I still get excited by an incubator full of chicks hatching out like popcorn.
Our journey as a family has included hatching, showing and rearing heritage breed chickens in a range of amazing colours and personalities.
What other animal gives you affordable hours of joy, entertainment, companionship, good compost and breakfast every day?

Great suggestion for a topic- yes will get to that- it’s a tough one if you get emotionally attached to your chickens & their productivity reduces- thanks for the topic opportunity- stay tuned
Hi there- question what breed is he? Option 1- he may need more hens to calm him if not 2- time to cull?if he’s particularly aggressive he may not be worth keeping or breeding poor temperament 3- buy saddles for the hens- seriously there are products that protect the hens backs during mating
Thanks for your comment. Did you watch the video? I’m just mentioning what to look out for in your chickens - nothing about humans catching a virus. 👍👨🏻🌾
