Let me tell you about these birds!

  • Our marans are mostly black copper marans but there is a small chance of BBS. We try to be mindful of body type and SOP, but we breed for egg color first. While we do breed for dark egg color, please be aware that egg color lightens throughout laying season. While the hope is that the offspring will lay even darker, they also may lay darker, lighter, more speckles etc

  • Ermine Ameraucana are stunning birds with fluffy cheeks and a nice black and white pattern. This is a project color and is not accepted by the APA yet, and there are some things that can pop up with this color project since it is still being worked on. There is also a change of black and dominant white coloring as well as ermine with these eggs.

  • This breeding project offers the chance of blue, black and splash coloring! The chances of the different color change often as we change our breeding roosters throughout the seasons. These fluffy faced birds will lay a stunning blue egg!

  • If you want stunning greens with a variety of tones, our olive Eggers are for you! With our olive Eggers you will get first generation, multi gens, back crosses to both ameraucana and marans as well as the possibility of ermine olive Eggers! The offspring will lay a variety of greens, teals, dark olives, golden browns and speckles. Please be aware olive Eggers that are back crossed and multi gens are not guaranteed to lay green and may lay tan or chocolate!

  • Our Easter Eggers offer an affordable option for those wanting some fun colors in their flock and different looking birds. These mixes will lay all different shades!

  • Hens choice assortment of the breeds we offer on our homestead. Whatever the hens lay that week that pass our inspection! You will get a variety of the breeds we have. Please note this is not a custom dozen.
