Meet our flock

Eater Egger

Easter Egger chickens are not an official breed recognized by the American Poultry Association but rather a hybrid of two South America breeds Araucana and Quintero chickens, brought to the United States in the 1920 & 1930s. These cross breeds were further crossed with other breeds in the 1970s resulting in the Easter Egger.

Unique characteristics of the breed include a variety of colors and patterns, including black, blue, brown, white, gray, buff, and red, and may have spots and feathered legs or a fluffy beard and muffs on their face.

They lay eggs in a wide range of colors, including blue, green, pink, and brown. They are known to be friendly and will on average lay 5-6 eggs per week.

This breed is new to our flock but expect some colorful eggs by October when the chicks mature🌈🌈🥚🥚🥚

Did you know…

Eggs in the EU are kept at room temperature, even in stores, and are not washed or refrigerated. As mentioned in a prior post eggs are coated with a protective membrane called a cuticle (bloom) that prevents bacteria from entering the shell. Some EU countries vaccinate chickens against salmonella. Eggs in the EU are graded, marked, and packaged with "best before" 28 days after they are laid.

#freerangechickenfarming #backyardchickens #farmfresheggs Meet our flock Lavender Orpington The Orpington breed was developed in Britain by Willian Cook of Orpington, County Kent, England, in the 1880s. It was intended to be a dual-purpose breed, to be reared both for eggs and for meat, but soon became exclusively a show bird. The Lavender Orpington color was developed in the late 1990s, is technically a very diluted black. This color breeds “true,” so two Lavender Orpington chickens will produce all Lavender babies. Orpingtons are very docile and produce on average , 6 medium light brown eggs per week.

Meet our flock #backyardchickens #freerangechickenfarming Blue Laced Red Wyandotte The breed was developed in the 1870s and Wyandotte named for the indigenous Wyandot people of North America.
