Heading off on holiday or needing time away from home? If you’re wondering who can truly care for your hens the way you do, look no further. At Yateley Smallholdings, we offer premium chicken boarding in Surrey, just a short drive from Gatwick Airport, giving you peace of mind while your flock enjoys a safe, comfortable stay in expert hands.
We understand that chickens aren’t just livestock, they’re part of the family. That’s why we treat every bird with the same care and attention we give our own. Whether you’re away for a weekend or a longer break, your hens will be well-fed, securely housed, and properly looked after from arrival to collection.
We go above and beyond to make sure your flock is settled, comfortable, and cared for throughout their stay with us. Our chicken boarding includes:
We predominantly use Omlet Eglu and Bespoke Plastic Hen Houses, all of which are known for their safety, easy-clean design, and comfort. Housing is cleaned, jet washed, and sanitised between every stay, and we use fresh bedding with dust-extracted straw or shavings.
We offer a high-quality, hands-on service that reflects the time and care involved in looking after your hens. Our pricing is clear and competitive for the premium level of care we provide:

If you’re planning a holiday, a short break, or even just need a safe place for your flock while you move house—Yateley Smallholdings has you covered.
With limited spaces available (especially during school holidays and summer months), we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment. Whether you’re a regular chicken keeper or this is your first time boarding your hens, we’re happy to answer any questions you might have.
We’re based in Surrey, just outside Yateley and not far from Gatwick Airport — ideal for dropping your hens off on the way to the terminal.
No. Each flock has its own private coop and run. We never mix birds from different households for health and safety reasons.
Just your hens! If they have a special diet or feed preference, feel free to bring enough for their stay. We’ll provide bedding, layers pellets, and clean water.
Sorry, we do not board cockerels due to noise and compatibility reasons.
We’ll treat them as we would our own. If needed, we’ll take your hen to our trusted vet and let you know straight away. Any vet costs would need to be reimbursed at collection.
We’ll always try to be flexible. Just let us know in advance — a small extra charge may apply to cover the time and coop turnaround.
Yes, we offer chicken boarding throughout the year. Just note that we do book up quickly during school holidays and summer months, so please get in early.
We ask for 50% deposit at booking, which is non-refundable. If you need to cancel or rearrange, let us know as soon as possible. If your plans shift slightly, we’ll do our best to accommodate.
