I guess I should start off with the name change of one of the breeds we offer. We were calling our green laying girls “Olive Eggers” the same as everyone else, but the chicks hatched from these eggs have the potential to not inherit the blue egg gene at all, and as such will be […]
The Consortium Silkies and Satins Our Silkie population has increased! In addition to the two paint hens, we’ve added a white and a splash hen, as well as a blue/splash rooster I’ve dubbed “Gandalf”. In total we have 9 wee little birds in that pen. Krakatoa, Mystic and Mamba were the first satin feathered bantams […]

We’ve had a LOT going on this month on the homestead! Baby Chickens! We have been hatching like crazy trying to test fertility and build up our flocks. At the end of January we hatched 3 Polish and 3 Ayam Cemani chicks. I want to say there are 2 Polish roos and 1 AC roo […]

We are currently working with: Standard: Wyandottes, Olive Eggers, Easter Eggers, Black Copper, White and Splash Marans, Crested Cream Legbar, Leghorn, […]

Around the beginning of May we hatched out several little bantam eggs (and one Wyandotte), between 2 broody hens and the incubator. Unfortunately coop space says we can’t keep every chick we hatch, as much as I’d like to, so we have quite a few little cuties ready to find their new flocks. Satin-feathered Silkie […]
For those of you wondering when we will have produce, I hate to say it but this year there is no garden after all. We had big plans, got all the seeds, planned the rows, and then the rain came in droves, causing everything with thorns to grow like they were magic beanstalks or something. […]
We finally got all of our breeding pens ready for all the different breeds and then I decided that we just had too many breeds to deal with. I sold the Lavender Orpingtons and the Blue Australorps, along with a whole crop of young Wyandotte roosters as a big lot. There were 26 in total […]
The growing season is approaching and we are gearing up for what we hope will be a great first year with our official homestead. As most of you know, there have been several things going on in the chicken world that have made national headlines. From losing birds to the Avian flu, to having the […]
