PRODUCTS & FEEDFeeders, Drinkers, Bedding and Animal feeds

Please arrange with Ian if you require help lifting bags of feed or bedding into your car.

Please remember that it is illegal to feed your hens kitchen scraps or dried meal worms as your hens fall under livestock laws. This is due to the risk of bacterial infections passing from eggs to humans. We recommend that hens are fed age appropriate feed as their main food - ie layers pellets for laying hens must always be available. Fresh drinking water and grit must always be available. Corn can be given as a scatter feed (approx 1 handful per bird per day), and fresh, uncooked and unprepared vegetables, such as cabbage can be offered. Hens should not be given bread, rice, pasta etc.

POULTRY BOARDINGExclusive Boarding for Customers

Exclusive to Sunnyside customers - If you are going away on holiday and need someone experienced and reliable to take care of your flock, then our boarding service can provide a safe and comfortable place for your birds to stay.

Depending on the local situation with Avian Influenza, usually November to March, our boarding service will be affected by movement restrictions. Please check the latest restrictions in your area before bringing your birds to us. Please also ensure that your birds are showing no signs of illness before they arrive. Any bird considered a risk will result in the flock being turned away.

All bookings are subject to the Terms detailed below with drop offs and collections made by appointment during our opening times.

How to Book

Please telephone, text or email once you have your holiday dates and we will book you in. If you telephone we will ask you to confirm your details by text or email. We will ask you to contact us to confirm and arrange a drop off time a few days before your booking.

Terms & Information
Please remember we are not available for drop off or collections on Sundays, Bank Holidays, when we have shut down over our summer holiday or when we have shut down over the Christmas and New Year period. When we are closed to the public, even if we are on holiday ourselves, we will still have someone reliable and experienced who takes care of our own and boarding birds.
For reasons of disease control this boarding service is restricted to birds purchased from us. Other birds will be considered on request, provided that they have been with you for at least 4 weeks.
Any birds we consider a risk to our own or other boarders will not be accepted.

We ask that your birds are thoroughly clean from all parasites or signs of disease. Please treat your birds with mite powder and give a wormer (if we are not worming for you) a few days before you drop them off.
Please ensure there are no signs of respiratory problems, runny noses, lice, mites, or scaly leg in your flock. Flocks considered a risk will not be accepted.
Birds are to be dropped off and collected during our normal opening times. We cannot look after pet carriers / transport crates or boxes whilst your birds stay. We cannot accept liability for damage to or losses of pet carriers or equipment left on our premises.
We will not accept liability for loss outside of our reasonable control.
Your flock will be housed in their own pen, next-door to other birds.
If a bird or animal in our care becomes sick or is injured we reserve the right to treat it as we we consider appropriate. If we need medical assistance from a veterinary surgeon we will contact you so that you can make the necessary arrangements. Any interaction with the vet must be between yourself and the vet. If animals need medical attention or or parasite treatment we reserve the right to made a reasonable additional charge to cover our time.
Please note that our insurance does not cover losses due to illness or injury, and will only cover proven purchase price in the unlikely event of theft.

If movement restrictions are imposed in our area due to Avian Influenza whilst your birds are with us then you birds will be continued to be looked after well during their extended stay. This will affect your final bill for their stay.
