Hi everyone Mine names Steve and with my partner Gemma and our 3 boys we have just started a small business called valechickens.co.uk in the vale of Glamorgan.
I have kept Birds my entire life and for part of that actually had the privilege to manager a local birdfarm.Work doing my hobby!! PERFECT!
well we have only been back with chickens now for a few months but found the demand from friends and friends of friends created an opportunity to try and set up a small business from our family home.
At the moment we have 2 incubators on the go all the time and the idea was to build up the stock levels as we have the opportunity to use some land near to us to set up on a larger scale but as it goes as quick as we are hatching they are selling!!Which is heaven for our boys new cuddly chicks to hold every week!!!

on top of the chickens my other hobby is turning over any space i can find to try my hand at fruit and veg growing!!!
This has been my first year and have done quite well i feel,well Much better than i had expected anyway!
