Our Chickens

Chickens are the easiest farm animal to add to your farmstead. After moving to the country, chickens were the first farm animals added to the farm. As far as food production chickens win a blue ribbon. They will provide farm fresh eggs and later-meat for your family. For those who aspire to produce their own food we highly recommend keeping chickens and we are here to show you just how to make that all happen!

The breeds of chickens we raise are Araucana, Barred Rocks-also known as Plymouth Rocks, and Buff Orpingtons. A dual purpose chicken fits the needs of our farmstead the best.

We hatch lots of chicks with our incubator; see our how-to videos to learn our tips!
