Some of our favorite breeds we specialize in are Mottled Houdan, Buff Laced Polish, Tolbunt Polish, Crèvecoeur and Sultan for their crested head feathers, beards, and docile personality. They make a wonderful addition to any backyard flock and will provide you with fresh eggs regularly. We are not a hatchery, but really enjoy hatching eggs. Unfortunately we are not able to keep every one and frequ
ently have chicks of various ages and breeds to rehome. On occasion we will offer individual pullets and cockerels or pairs and trios after selecting the ones we retain for improving our lines. Hope you Like our page as much as we love our chickens!
For those interested in raising chickens for eggs or meat, the Crevecoeur and Houdan breeds offer excellent options. Additionally, their docile nature makes them a great choice for backyard chicken keepers.
Check out the links from The Livestock Conservancy posted for the history of their origin.
We have more hatching this week!

Goodbye Winter and Hello Spring!☀️
Chickens had a feast on the last of the zucchini we grew this past summer.
Really impressed how well the zucchini and pumpkins kept over winter. Will definitely need to plant way more for next winter. Or less chickens? 🤔
Separated the Sultans and have some 2023 pullets and roosters needing a new coop. Can go as pairs, trios or individually. Lay smaller or bantam sized white eggs. PM for information. Delivery to Regina or Yorkton may be arranged.
Big shout out to the Alberta Poultry Breeders Association organizers for putting on a great show at Olds today.

Much needed chicken therapy at the Saskatchewan Poultry Association Group show today❤️
Very pleased with the results especially this Mottled Houdan pullet. Placed Champion in Continental class in both District and Provincial shows.
Thanks Veracity Creative for the new business cards!
In preparation for the upcoming shows we are selecting the best of the best for exhibition and will be parting with the ones that don’t meet standard of perfection.
We have a few 2023 sultan pullets available. Most are laying or point of lay. They are a smaller breed of bird similar in size to Silkies or bantam Cochins.
Pure white with feathered feet. Perfect urban chicken!
Happy New Year!
Time to start 2024 hatching season 🐣.
First batch in will be from this trio of Tolbunt Polish. Wasn’t planning on incubating until March but they are laying well and this weather it sure feels like spring!
Finally most of the birds are done molting. Seemed to take forever for the polish to get their crest and beard feathers regrown.

Thanks to my very talented sister-in-law Kathryn Brunskill for creating this keepsake of one of my favorite Mottled Houdans. Its such a unique piece of artwork painted on a birch panel using mixed media art form. There’s so much detail within this piece depicting the history of this French breed.
Also wanted to extend our congratulations to Kathyrn for completing the Arts and Artisanship certificate program through the University of Saskatchewan. Be sure to check out her website www.brunskillpainter.com for upcoming classes and if you’re in the Saskatoon area this week her artwork will be displayed in the Snelgrove Art Gallery.
