I let slip at work that I really liked pigs, not just in a bacon sandwich with brown sauce on a Sunday morning I might add, so for my retirement present they bought me this intro to pig keeping course... See more

Great products but bad packaging.

Unfortunately some of the order arrived damaged. The growers pellets bucket was badly shattered (the delivery driver took a photo) and splintered pieces of plastic ended up inside the feed. I needed it urgently so couldn’t send it back, instead I manually picked though it to remove the plastic shards so my pullets don’t end up eating them. Not a great start for a first order. Another bucket had a broken lid but the rest where fine.
The contents themselves are great, my hens are enjoying their dust bath and treats. Just need better protection for the plastic buckets as I now cannot reuse some of them which isn’t very environmentally friendly. Would have given them 5 stars otherwise.

Reply from Mantel Farm

Sorry to hear there were issues with the parcel. We always ensure we package parcels as best as we can, unfortunately they occasionally do not get treated well in transit. Had we been contacted and made aware at the time of the order we would have been happy to discuss and resolve this issue.

I am glad to have found Mantel Farm

I am glad to have found Mantel Farm. It is a really great place to go if you want to learn about keeping chickens, or are experienced . or you need supplies., etc A genuine, friendly and caring rural enterprise. I took my elderly parents there to buy some bantams recently and they loved it too.

Happy calm new chickens

We were helped to select our new chickens by a very helpful and polite young man who was happy to advise on integration with our older hens. We noticed how calm all these chickens were when he picked them up, as they have been since we got them home, noticeably much calmer than other newbies we have bought elsewhere previously who have been quite skittish. We felt their relative calmness reflects their positive early experience at Mantel Farm.

Staff were very helpful

Staff were very helpful and informative. An interesting range of weekend courses on offer as well as beautiful chickens for sale. It’s a little difficult to find, the sign is easy to miss coming from Catsfield but worth turning round and making the search from the other direction when you reach the next hamlet!

We recently visited with view to our two treasured chickens spending a holiday at mantel farm while we have a family holiday.
We were not disappointed, we had a warm welcome and readily showed the pens the girls would be staying; they were light, bright and lovely and clean with all they would need for their comfort.
We look forward to our break knowing they will be well cared for .

I've bought quite a few chickens from Mantel farm over the years. They have all been excellent chickens, good health, good layers, good natured even as they are kept so well at the farm.
I highly recommend them, lovely people, care about their animals and very generous with their knowledge. One chicken laid an egg the same day we got them home!

The team at Mantel farm are unique in their knowledge and their level of customer service. It's like meeting up with knowledgeable friends, nothing is too much trouble. The courses they run, the products sold, everything. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
