Our Breeds

 Orpingtons are a large, dual purpose heavy breed which lay 200+ eggs a year. They are good for both egg production as well as large table sized birds. Although they don’t tend to go broody, they can mother many chicks as they are a much larger bird. They can be quite friendly and tend to not be flighty. Our birds are excellent layers suppasing the average for the breed and will go broody once a year if  not at all. Our birds are good quality and we are currently working on their size. Current colors are blue, black, splash and buff.  

 Wyandottes are a large, dual purpose breed which lay 200+ eggs a year. They are good for both egg production as well as large table sized birds. They don’t tend to go broody, and do tend to be less sociable than other breeds. They are good for colder climates as they have a rose comb which can tolerate frosts much better. Our Wyandottes have excellent lacing and our Silvers have good shape.  Current colors are black, blue and splash laced gold as well as silver laced (black laced silver). Blue Laced Red, Large Whites are new additions to this season. We also have white and red  in the bantam variety and multiple new colours in the works. 

 Araucanas are a medium sized, light breed bird which lay 150 blue to green eggs a year. Well known for their eggs, Araucanas can add color to your egg basket. Our Araucanas are excellent layers, pullets start young and will lay 5-6 times a week for their first few years. Current colors are blue, black, cuckoo, lavender, lavender cuckoo, partridge bantam and duckwing bantam. Our cuckoo lay mostly green-olive eggs, the blue/black lay a mix of blue and green and the rest all lay blue eggs. 

 Leghorns are a medium sized, light breed bird which lay 300+ white eggs a year. The best heritage breed egg producers, leghorns will lay just about every day in the right conditions. They do tend to be quite flighty, but are great foragers and will spend their days in search of snacks in the grass. Current colors are blue, black, splash , white, exchequer, brown, columbian, cuckoo, blue cuckoo, buff, pile, and white bantam.  

 Campines are a light breed which lay around 150 white eggs a year. Campines are quite a flighty breed, and as they forage a lot are best to let free range. Ours do tend to lay around 200 eggs a year, all year round and their eggs are massive. Currently, only gold Campines are bred here.

 Silkies are a light breed that lay 100 or so tinted to cream eggs a year. By far the best pets and mothers, silkies are a great addition to any flock if you want to cuddle, or raise more chickens. Our Silkies are in a mixed cage, with black, blue, white, buff and lavender causing a nice mix of separate and mixed colors.  

Hamburgs are a light breed. Their origins aren't 100% certain but they are most likely from Holland. Large amounts of development were done on them in England and they were the main laying bird till leghorns became popular. They lay around 150-200 white to cream eggs yearly. They are an extremely flighty breed so a free range lifestyle is best for them. We currently breed Silver and Gold Spangled, Black and Blue. 

Frizzles are not a breed, but rather a mutation of the feather causing the feathers to curl up rather than lay flat. Our frizzles originate from mostly pekin and araucana breeds, with both bantam and light breed mixed stock. Eggs may be green, blue or tinted. Current colors are black, blue, white, brown/buff and cuckoo. As this breed is still being worked on, small amounts are available.  

 Olive Eggers are originally a cross between Araucanas and Shavers, with several other breeds added in. They are a breed which are still being worked on here.  They produce olive to green eggs, and a lot of them! A great way of adding color to your egg basket, without reducing productivity. Currently birds purchased will have a 50% chance of laying Olive eggs, 25% brown and 25% green.  Current colors are black and brown although birchen colouring is in there as well as newly added blue, columbian and wheaten.
