Miniature Appleyards

The Miniature Appleyard was created in 1980 by Tom Bartlett, who wanted to develop a smaller version of the Large Silver Appleyard, renowned for its egg laying abilities and beauty.

​

The Miniature Silver Appleyard is an extremely hardy bird, and lays a significant number of eggs in the spring and summer months. They are extremely good garden birds, as they enjoy foraging on slugs and snails. 

​

Mini Appleyards are extremely sociable birds, and are incredibly inquisitive and friendly, particularly towards young children.

​

We breed from two bloodlines - one pair is from a mixed line, for additional diversity, and our remaining Appleyards were sourced  directly from the world-renowned Soper line.

 

Silver Birch breeds from three pairs of Miniature Appleyards, and we usually start hatching at the end of February, before ending our Appleyard hatching cycles in July. 

​

We are able to supply pet, breeder, basic exhibition and elite quality Miniature Appleyards.

​

Our Miniature Appleyards retail for the same amount as our Call Ducks and Black East Indians, allowing every client to have the opportunity to purchase a pair or trio of these splendid birds.
