All Things Chicken & Egg
Our chickens are loved and well cared for. They spend their days free-ranging in the grassy pasture, eating bugs and such, and sleep in a fancy coop complete with a heat lamp for the winters. In addition to scavenging, they're fed a variety of seeds, nuts, grains, fruits & veggies twice a day.
I hatch chicks occasionally and have fertile hatching eggs available for those that are interested in hatching their own chicks. We have white, brown, tan, green and green-blue eggs from the following breeds: black, white and blue silkies, bantam frizzle, sizzle, polish, bantam polish, rosecomb, ameraucana, silkie-cauna, barred rock, and red layers. We have information on Chick Care and Fertile Hatching Egg Care available.
