Our Chickens

Self -Blue Ameraucana

Ameraucana is a stunning breed of muffed, bearded, and tailed chickens that lay blue eggs. Ameraucana is one of the friendliest chicken breeds you can own. Their pea comb makes them the ideal poultry to raise in both hot and cold climates. Ameraucanas are extremely hardy and healthy chickens. You can expect 4-5 eggs per week out of your hens. For the 2024 hathing season, we will only offer chicks on a pre-ordering basis. Hatching eggs may become available in the fall. Chicks are $25 each and sold unsexed. Minimum order of 5 (five) for local pick up.

Buff Laced White Polish

Quite gracious and stunning to look at, the Buff laced polish is the only variety of polish we raise. They are quiet pleasing to the eye and are very interesting to observe. Hens are are friendly and docile but their “hats” can obstruct their vision, making them timid and easily startled . Hens are excellent producers of medium sized white eggs. Our rooster Cocco is vigorous and very protective of his hens which is why we love him. Chicks start out at $15.

BBS Ameraucana

The BBS Ameraucana is our most popular chickens. For newbies, BBS stands for blue, black, and splash. When you order fertile eggs or chicks from us, you may get a clutch of all three colors. These are large fowl, laying 250 - 280 eggs large blue and blueish green eggs a year. Very docile and gentle chickens. We are members of The Ameraucana breeder club and breed to SOP. Chicks start out at $18. Fertile egg orders will resume as soon as fertility and hatch rate is to our satisfaction.

Dark Cornish

The Dark Cornish has continuously proven to be a great addition to our breeding program. I wish I had known about them from the start of our operation. For starters, this is a heritage breed, recognized by the APA. Other varieties include white-red laced, white, and buff. Dark is the only variety we raise. We do not have a show quality stock which is very difficult and expensive to acquire. I enjoy building from scratch, so I sourced my stock from a well known hatchery I trust. I have been working diligently to improve and preserve the breed’s original traits by selectively breeding them and have made great progress so far. Chicks start out at $9.

Heritage Rhode Island Red

This is one must have heritage breed in any backyard flock. One of the best dual purpose chickens that is. Their gene provides a foundation to many other breeds, such as the hybrid red sexlink. Did you know that if you cross a Rhode Island with a Plymouth Rock, you get a black sexlink? A Rhode Island Crossed with a Delaware will result in a beautiful and highly productive Red Sexlink! Our hens are great layers. Our line lays shades of rouge color eggs. Eggs are large to extra-large. Both roosters and hens displays a gentle disposition. They are very laid back and are easy to maintain. Great foragers too.

Black Copper Maran

Black Copper Marans are among my favorite breeds of all time. Besides their stunning appearance, their dark chocolate color eggs makes our egg cartons stand out. We have sourced our foundation from a few U.S. renowned breeders flock in 2018 and have worked continuously to improve and preserve it’s original traits of appearance and egg color.

Serama

The smallest chickens in world! The Serama chicken originates from Malaysia. I called them “tiny soldiers.” They are full of personality. The roosters make the best home pets. They are full of personality. With proper training Seramas can be trained to show off their chests on a table top. Seramas are a joy to keep. They are very easy to maintain, and with the right feeder, lower cost in feeding as well. We are members of SCNA club. Our foundational stock comes from a few of the SCNA members. In 2023, I we acquired some beautiful pairs from directly from the original importer to diversify and further improve our bloodlines.

Our Ancona Ducks

Ancona ducks make the best pet ducks ever! They are very friendly and docile. They easily adapt to new environments as they are extremely hardy. They possess great vitality and fertility. Ancona ducks are also very nurturing towards newcomers to the flock. Unlike chickens, these ducks welcome newcomers no matter if it’s a retired rooster or a older duckling added to their flock. They run in groups and are always together. Our line lays beautiful shades of blue (including teal), white, and cream color eggs. Hens are highly productive layers, laying anywhere between 250-280 eggs a year. We keep all colors, except tricolor and white, though they do pop up once and while due to a recessive gene in the bloodline. We sourced our foundation flock from Al Quackery and Mantahala Farm. We have been keeping Anconas since early 2018.

Bielefelder

Our flock comprises of birds that derive from the original 2011 and 2013 imports. They have no white earlobes. The hens are super friendly. They follow me around and seek my attention. The roosters are gentle giants. They love to forage but also bear confinement well. Chicks are autosexed at hatch, meaning male and female are easily distinguishable. We are currently monitoring fertility and will update availability for hatching and chicks as soon as fertility and hatch rate is satisfactory.

BBS Patridge Bhrama

Extremely quiet, docile, gentle, hardy, and easy to handle, Bhramas make an excellent choice as for any homesteader looking to raise a dual purpose breed. Bhramas are also great layers of brown/tan eggs. We raise the BBS Partridge variety. Our hens leave a beautiful pinkish blooming on their medium-large eggs. We are currently monitoring fertility and will update availability for hatching and chicks as soon as fertility and hatch rate is satisfactory.

Delaware

I cannot begin to describe how much I love this breed. Delawares were once the main broilers before the Cornish Cross was developed; nonetheless, they continued to be an excellent dual-purpose chicken. One of the many things I personally love about this breed is their temperament. The roosters are so affectionate. Both hens and roosters love to explore and follow their humans around. Hens are wonderful layers of large to jumbo eggs. Another great attribute of this breed is that they are a healthy breed. Females grow up to 6 pounds and males weight up to 8-9 pounds. We are working hard to grow our starter flock and hope to be offering hatching eggs soon and baby chicks by the spring of 2024

Blue Splash Silverudd (ISBAR)

Pronounced as “ice-bar” this heritage rare breed originates from Sweden. Isbars are extremely docile and very productive most of the year. The hens are excellent producers of moss green eggs. The roosters are gentle and amorous. Both male and female are very productive besides making wonderful pets. We have been under their spell since 2018. he line we are producing lays moss green with tiny speckles on it. We hope to be offering hatching eggs soon and baby chicks on demand by the spring of 2024.

Wheaten Maran

Wheaten’s are my second favorite variety of Marans. The hens are highly productive and full of vigor. My line lays almost as dark as the Black copper Marans and a few of my hens lay dark chocolate speckled. They have a gentle disposition and love to forage and explore when given the opportunity.

Silkie

These are the divas of the chicken world! They are a lot of fun and joy to raise. We raise bearded and crested silkies. I only have two color pens: The project red and whites. They are friendly, docile, funny, and super sassy, especially the boys. They are the best! Silkie hens have a tendency to go broody no matter the season of the year. They lay about 130-160 eggs a year. We sourced our stock from two master exhibition breeders in Florida.

Our Coturnix Quail

We started out with coturnix quail in January of 2018. I did not know much of what I was doing or which direction I was headed, so I started out with many colors! Including the celadon quail. Once I figure out what I was doing, I decide to keep only two colors, which bared proof, from time to time, to be the best and yield the highest production of eggs and meat: The Texas AM and the Japanese Pharaoh, also known as Jumbo Brown. Quail is very easy to raise and maintain. The mature very fast, usually around 6-7 weeks of age.

Buff Orpington

Our Buff Orpingtons are remarkably striking and beautiful; nothing like the ones found at the local feed store. Their plumage is rich orange gold and lustrous. The whole flock exhibits a warm and docile temperament. They are quiet and calm. Makes a great addition to families with your ng children. Hens are great layers of medium sized to large tan eggs. We were quiet fortunate to find a reliable source for quality buff orpingtons. We are currently running fertility checks and accepting pre-orders for chicks and hatching eggs. Day old chicks will be priced at $12 each and sold unsexed.

Crele Orpington

As with other variety of orpingtons, the crele variety is sweet, gentle, docile birds (even the roosters), weighting around 7 to 8 pounds. Hens are good layers all year round, even into winter, producing large brown eggs steadily right through the coldest weather. Orpingtons are good setters and mothers. We are currently listing this flock for sale. We currently have two young hens and 3 roosters still available. All are breeding stock quality.

Heritage Plymouth Rock

This is the old heritage Imperial Ringlet line, also known as Plymouth Rocks. I consider this to be one of the best dual purpose chickens there is. Both male and females are well-mannered and easy going. The hens are good layers of large to extra-large eggs. One of their main attributes is that they are a hardy chicken, especially during cold weather. They are also very pleasing to the eye. I love that notorious zebra line pattern on their feathers.

Wheaten Ameraucana

Amazing plumage and temperament. Though I have decided to part with this flock, we will continue to offer their fertile eggs and chicks which will help pay their way while they are here and even blue egg gene blood tests I have to conduct in order to bring the line back to laying pastel blue eggs. My flock is bred to SOP (they meet conformation requirements), however, this line is laying shades of ultra pale blue to light cream eggs. Flock consists of 1 male and 5 females. We have sold our flock of Wheaten Ameraucanas. As of 3/9/24, we no long raise this variety. We are expanding our BBS and Self-Blue breeding operation and starting back up with Cream Legbars.

Salmon Faverolle

Salmon Faverolles are among the favorites at our farm. They are a joy to raise. The hens are quite chatty and mesmerizing with their fluffy bodies and fat muffed chicks. They are the comedians of our backyard flock. They are very docile, curious, and adventurous chickens. Hens are highly productive; the most productive at our farm. They are usually the first ones to start and the last ones to finish. They take a relatively short break before start laying again. Salmon Faverolles are must! The boys are romantics. They make me smile every morning when I come to to see them. They do the feather dance for me.

Our Breeds

Last updated on 3/9/2024

Please note some of the “Learn more” buttons have not yet been linked to the store. I have been working on this page diligently over my summer break, as time allows, but at least you can see what we raise. If you are looking for a particular breed that is not shown on this page is because we don’t raise it. Everything we have, including upcoming breeds that we will be offering chicks and hatching eggs in 2024 are on this page.

Birds are my therapy. I absolutely love every breed and variety of chicken, duck, and quail we raise here. We only raise chickens, Ancona ducks, and two colors of the coturnix quail. No guineas nor turkeys. I love all of the rare and the heritage breeds we keep. As you can see below, we keep quiet a few breeds. The short descriptions are based on my own personal experience with each breed and not on what is available on the web.
