I have 25 laying hens at the moment. I have brown, white, blue, and green egg layers.
*Now accepting (eating) eggs orders*
For four years (2020-2022, 2026), I bought day-old chicks and raised them to laying age. For the first 6 weeks, they have to be under a heat lamp, get transferred to my grower coop for 10 weeks, and then start laying around 16-21 weeks. I sell the pullets as a start-up flock package or replacement layers to current chicken owners. I am once again doing a replacement layer program this year (2026). I have over 100 chicks, either bought or hatched. Some breeds include White Leghorn, Brown Leghorn, Buff Orpington, Jubilee Orpington, BYM, Olive Egger, Ameraucana, Lavender Orpington, Black Copper Marans, and Tolbunt Polish. I will have at least 50 point of lay pullets available in September.
*Now accepting orders for POL Pullets in September and chick preorders for April and May*
We have 6 ducks. 1 Pekin, 1 Silver Runner, 1 Blue Runner, and 3 Barnyard Mixes.
*Now taking orders for Purebred Blue Indian Runner Ducklings to be hatched in July*
Broody means a hen wants to hatch some eggs. One of my Plymouth Rocks, Mary Poopins, went broody at the beginning of May in 2020, so I got some fertile eggs as I didn't have a rooster at the time and she ended up hatching 6 little chicks! Once again in July of 2021, Mary went boody again and ended up hatching three chicks. Watching the chicks hatch was a very educational experience for my entire family. I also had a gold laced cochin hen go broody in the summer of 2025 and she hatched 3 chicks.
I had the opportunity to acquire my dream birds, Mille de Fleur Belgium D'uccle birds in the summer of 2024! Along with d'uccles, I also bought golden-laced Cochins and Tolbunt Polish birds.
I have a flock of purebred Buff Orpingtons that don't come from a hatchery line. I do sell hatching eggs and chicks in the spring and summer.
