Our Buff Orpingtons
Our Buff Orpingtons are remarkably striking and beautiful; nothing like the ones found at the local feed store. We were quiet fortunate to have found a reliable source for quality Buff Orpingtons. Their plumage is rich orange gold and lustrous. The whole flock exhibits a warm and docile temperament. Buff Orpingtons have several great qualities, making them an all time backyard chicken favorite. They are quiet, calm, and affectionate. Buff Orpintons make a great addition to families with young children and folks who may be just starting out with chickens. Hens are great layers of large tan eggs. They can go broody and make excellent mothers. The roosters are sweethearts. They can be easily picked up and petted. They are also cold hardy and great foragers, but also bear confinement well.
We have a limited availability of chicks and pullets per year. Hatching eggs from this breed are not offered at this time.
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
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.
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.
Salmon Faverolle
Salmon Faverolles are among the favorites at our farm. They are a joy to raise and they are a dual purpose large fowl chicken breed. The hens are excellent layers of of medium size salmon color eggs. They lay mostly the entire year, except during molt. 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 males have a stunning appearance and also make great dinners as early as 15 weeks (their leg quarters are tender and tasty!) The boys are romantics. They make me smile every morning when I come to to see them. They do the feather dance for me. If you want a stunning breed who is friendly and make great dinners, the Salmon Faverolle is one breed to consider!
Self Blue Ameraucanas
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. We are proud to own Paul Smith lines as our foundational flock. We have been members of the Americuana Breeders Club since 2019 and breed our Americuanas to meet the standard of perfection (SOP). We breed for conformation, egg color, and temperament. Chicks are sold unsexed. Minimum order of 5 (five) chicks for local pick up. Our Self-Blue Americuanas start at $25 per chick and fertile eggs start at $45.
Serama
The smallest chickens in world! The Serama chicken originates from Malaysia. I call them “tiny soldiers.” They are full of personality. The roosters make the best home pets. They are full of personality and sass! With proper training Seramas can be conditioned 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 -2024, we acquired some beautiful pairs directly from the original importer to diversify and further improve our bloodlines. It is very rare for us to offer Serama, given their degree of vulnerability . The chicks are a tad bigger than a quail when born and they have different needs than do the regular chicks, so we choose to raise them till 4-5 months, when they are banded and sold in pairs.
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.
Swedish Flower Hen
If you are looking for great layer of large and extra eggs, who are super friendly, outgoing, and eye candy, the Swedish Flower Hen is a must have in your backyard flock. Speaking from my own experience with this breed, it is one of my favorites in terms of temperament. They are calm, confident, and poised. The females are extremely curious and inquisitive. They love the outdoors and exploring the world around them, but they also bear confinement well. The males are pretty much the same. They are chilled while being great protectors of their flock.
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. We are able to sex our Wheaten Marans as early as 3-4 four weeks as the feather coloring are clearly distinguishable. We are proud to have sourced our foundational flock from Maran’s Unlimited and The Gipsy Hen (under the leadership of former owner Rachel). Our chicks start at $15 and fertile eggs at $45.
During the months of June-December, chicks will be discounted and advertised on our farm page www.facebook.com/vitoriafarms .Cash , Venmo, or Zelle. Minimum of 5 chicks per visit.

There is a minimum order of 5 chicks for local pick up. We do not ship live birds. Most breeds are sold straight run. There are only THREE breeds that we can sex as a chick: Bielefelders, Cream Legbars, and Plymouth Rocks, which are autosexed. Orders are fulfilled in the order which they are received, and this can take a little time. We recommend practicing good husbandry to your chicks, maintaining feeders and waterers clean; specially the water. Chicks should have access to fresh water daily. Bedding is also very important. If you use paper towels, it should be changed out at least once in the morning and once in the evening. We recommend feeding non medicated starter-grower 20% protein. Medicated feed depletes the chicks from a important vitamin B, causing debilitating health problems such as wry neck. Please check our farm policies before placing your order.
Please be patient as we fill orders. Keep in mind, we are working with live animals not fast food. We work on their schedule. All sales are final.
After you place your order, we will contact you with an anticipated availability date for your chicks. Due to our work schedule and Marek’s vaccination program, all hatches are planned to occur every 3-4 weeks, so we may have your chicks in the brooder, still incubating, or 3-4 weeks away from incubating. We will let you know and reach out to you when your chicks have hatched and are ready to go home.
