Poultry

Farm-tastic eggs from our friendly birds!

Our farm currently raises two flocks of hens and a flock of quail, all providing fresh eggs that can be purchased at our farm store.

Berry Coop

Breeds: Ameraucana, Copper Marans, Olive Eggers, Brown Leghorns

Our berry coop hens are a mix of breeds, and are what is known as heritage breeds. Heritage chickens are traditional breeds, not bred for improved production. They are slower growing, and maintain a higher genetic diversity than hybrid breeds. They produce green, blue, red, and white eggs.

Orchard Coop

Breed: Bovans Brown Sexlink

Bred for high egg production, this flock is very hardy, docile, and easy to handle. Each hen can produce 4-6 large brown eggs per week.

Sexlinks are chickens that are bred to be sexable (can be identified as male or female) at hatch by key markers such as their feather colors.

Quail Coop

Breed: Coturnix

Coturnix Quail are a small breed of bird, maxing out at less than a pound. Their compact size makes them great for small homesteaders, and they often bypass livestock rulings that outlaw chickens.  A single quail can lay up to 300 eggs a year, starting at 6-8 weeks. They can also be raised for their meat, making them a dual purpose breed. You can currently see our quail coop towards the back of the farm, and our quail will be visible to the public soon!
