Changes to our services
– at this time
As a business supplying both
poultry, feed and poultry supplies, we are classed as an ‘essential
service/business’ and are able to continue trading during a lockdown. We have adapted our services to the current
situation to keep everyone, including ourselves, as safe as we can:-
· Visits
are by appointment only - as always;
· You must
advise us in advance of what chicken supplies you require - preferably via
e-mail on southmead-poultry@hotmail.co.uk
or if necessary, by phone on 01372 458320 or text/phone on 07963 013597. We will then send you an invoice for the
total amount due.
· Payment
can be made by bank transfer (we will supply you with our bank details) or
contactless up to £45. Once payment is
received, we will collect your supplies ordered and put them in a wheel barrow
ready for your arrival.
· When you
arrive and park in the car park at the time agreed, please advise us of your
arrival, we will then wheel your supplies to the side of your car, we will then
walk away from your car whilst you load the items into your car, thus keeping
the social distancing protocol;
This way you can still get your
essential chicken supplies, feed, bedding etc that you need, and we can all do
our bit to stay safe and not spread the virus, keep social distancing etc.
With regards to the sale of
chickens, we ask that you e-mail us with your requirements to southmead-poultry@hotmail.co.uk. Please note demand is very high at
present. When the birds become available
for collection, I will contact you.
Visits will be by STRICT APPOINTMENT ONLY to ensure
we have your birds ready for you, and to avoid other customers being on site at
the same time to ensure social distancing requirements are met. If demand is very high, we may have to limit
you to 4 or 5 birds maximum per customer.
DEFRA
has advised poultry rearers that the selling of hens is covered by their animal
welfare legislation and we are told we can continue to do so when we have birds
available, thus ensuring the welfare of the birds already being reared
continues, and overcrowding does not occur as the bird continues to grow.
With
regards to the chicken boarding, we
are business as usual, but 2m distancing etc is required at all times.
With
regards to chicken supplies, we
are business as usual with the requirements of above.
To allow us to operate safely and within the
regulations set out by the Government during this Corona Virus pandemic we will
be taking the following strict measures to ensure that all our customers and
our Team are protected:-
·
Please
only visit us if you feel your journey is essential.
·
You need to order your choice of
breeds/poultry products/feed via e-mail southmead-poultry@hotmail.co.uk (as selected from our
website), and pay for them in advance by bank transfer (details to be given) or
by debit card payment over the phone if you prefer. Unfortunately, due to safety restrictions you
cannot choose birds on the day, or choose a specific bird from the flock (as
previously) as access at this time needs to be limited.
·
On
your arrival, please remain in your car until a member of the Team
signals that it is your turn to be served.
·
As
the Government rules/stipulation stand, only one person can vacate their
vehicle on arrival. Any other passengers
must remain inside the car.
·
When you collect your birds, you
will need to supply your own pet carrier and we will transfer the birds from a
holding crate into your carrier.
·
Keep
to the social distancing rules- do not come any closer to us than 2
metres. Shout nicely to us if you need
to! We have a 2 metre barrier so please
be aware of and respect this.
·
There
will be no toilet facilities available at this time.
If you have ANY concerns that you are not at
full health, or have shown ANY symptoms of Covid-19 DO NOT VISIT US. PLEASE STAY AWAY to help us to protect
ourselves, to protect others, protect the NHS and save lives. We would also recommend people take their
own personal safety measures even if you are feeling well, such as wearing
gloves and a mask/scarf.
The
above restrictions are to ensure that we all stay safe, and comply with social
distancing and Government restrictions.
We hope to have business as usual
again, once it is safe to do so.
Stay safe and well everyone 😊
From the Team of two at Southmead Poultry.
