No. We follow a strict biosecurity plan that helps us to keep our birds healthy and reduce exposure to disease. This involves keeping a closed flock and limiting visitors to our farm. Keeping our flock (and yours) healthy and happy is our top priority.

Because we keep our roosters with our hens at all times, our personal choice is to feed a breeder ration custom made for us by a local organic feed mill. We supplement it with Fertrell Poultry Nutri Balancer as well as free choice grit and oyster shells.

Chicks and growouts are fed a non-medicated custom organic starter or grower ration also supplemented with Poultry Nutri Balancer and appropriate sized grit.

When we started breeding (and on occasions that we added in new genetics), we carefully sourced lines that we felt would best help us work towards our goals of maintaining good breed representation and genetic diversity. All our lines that we hatch from are our own.

Our breeding flock is at least one year of age and older. We do not use pullets in our breeding program and will not send you pullet eggs as hatching eggs.

We always make sure to test hatch and grow out birds before offering our flocks to others.

Our goals in breeding are to represent breeds as true as possible, while maintaining health and vigor, good temperaments for the backyard flock and egg color.
