Getting to Know our feathered friends

Our Black Australorps are very calm, friendly birds that become attached to their human. Their gentle, docile nature makes them great for families with children.  Australorps begin laying around 22 to 24 weeks and will lay approximately 250-300 brown eggs each year.  Don't miss out on some amazing birds.

Australorp layers are not available at this time.

Barnyard mixes come with a  variety of colors, personalities,  and egg laying habits  which makes each hen a one of a kind delight.  Barnyard mixes are  not a breed as such but are a free spirited conglomeration of different breeds, interbreeding and producing more barnyard mixes. Our Rhode Island Red, French Black Copper Maran, Delaware, Leghorn, Australorps, Easter Eggers, Olive Eggers, Light or Buff Brahma and possibly Buff Orpington genetics.   These barnyard mixes tend to be hardier and more disease resistant. The colors of their eggs and number they will lay will be a bit of a mystery but you will become very aware of each since they are easier to tell apart.

Red Sex Link chickens are a cross between a Rhode Island Red and a Delaware or Light Sussex hens.  They are very good layers of large brown eggs sometimes reaching as many as 300+  large to extra large eggs a year.  Egg producation may begin as early as 16 weeks  of age.  Red Sex Links are sexable upon hatch since females will have a reddish tint and males will be mostly white.  Red Sex Links may also be know as Golden Comets, Gold Star, and Cinnamon Queen.  They really are easy to handle and relatively quiet birds.

Red Sex Link Layers are $30 each.

Black Sex Links are created from a Barred Rock Hen and either a Rhode Island Red, New Hampshire Red or other non barred rooster.  The females will be black and the roosters will be barred at hatch.  The female will grow to have accents of brown, blue, red or turquoise feathers.  They are very active and a bit skittish.  They do not tend to become broody but do lay eggs throughout the winter.  They are cold and heat tolerant and love to free range.  

Black Sex Link layers are not available at this time.  

Easter Eggers are a cross between an Ameraucana or Auracana and a brown egg layer.  They are an excellent egg layer and the color of the egg will be a surprise.  They may lay a light blue, green, pink white, tan or occasionally a brown egg but whatever color they lay will be the only color they will ever lay.  They will begin laying at 5 to 6 months and lay 200-280 eggs a year.  Easter Eggers usually are muffed and bearded and do not breed true.  They  are assertive, friendly and funny  birds that come in a variety of colors and lay eggs in a variety of shades.  

 Easter Egger layers are not available at this time.

Olive Eggers are a cross between a blue egg layer and a dark egg layer like a Black Copper Maran or a Welsummer.  Olive Eggers will lay a green egg ranging from a light blue green or spearmint green egg to a rich dark olive.   They usually start laying around 5 to 6 months and will lay about 150-260 colored eggs a year.  Olive Eggers are friendly, easy going chickens that make good mothers but don't go broody often.  They are hardy in cold or heat and are good foragers but also adapt well to confinement.  They take an interest  in the people that care for them and tootle around fairly quietly.

Olive Egg layers are not available at this time.
