We hatch and sell chicks for people who want to produce their own eggs, chicks, and/or meat. Our focus is on heritage breeds because they allow us to hatch our own eggs and if you keep a rooster with your hens, you can do the same. We prefer dual purpose birds that are good foragers, as we let our flocks range free on pasture and in the forest.

Our breeds:
Rhode Island Red
At the moment we have weekly hatches of Rhode Island Reds, a breed that hardly needs any introduction. They’re a dual purpose bird, although they are a little on the small side for table birds. They’ve got a gentle, calm disposition and are reliable layers.
Australorp
These friendly, calm birds are good layers and grow to an impressive size. This both prevents them from flying and makes them a good choice of table bird.
