Breeding Goals
First and foremost my main goal is to breed the birds I have to the standard of Perfection. For those that don't know, the SOP is a book published by the American Poultry association originally in 1874. It is updated regularly and outlines the desired physical appearance, coloring, and temperament for all recognized breeds of poultry, including chickens, ducks, turkeys, and geese. For all non standard varieties, also known as project varieties, that we raise (this means varieties that have not yet been accepted into the APA or another breed association) we will breed according to the SOP for body type and for color as outline for other breeds or to a proposed standard if someone as created one for that variety. Examples of project varieties are our Silver Marans and Blue Laced Red Wyandottes,
In addition to the SOP we also breed for egg color. This means that we want our Marans to lay the darkest eggs possible, our Ameraucanas to lay the bluest eggs possible. We will want our green eggers to actually lay green eggs. So this will be taken into consideration when breeding.
We also breed for health. No bird with a severe health defect will ever be bred. We have had birds with slipped tendons, a rumpless Marans and may encounter other defects. These birds may be kept as pets or for egg layers, (when humane to do so) but will never reproduce. Additionally birds that have been ill multiple times will not be bred, even if they survive and get well.
We also will be breeding for temperament. We have to start somewhere so our BBS Ameraucanas are a little flighty, as can be common for Ameraucanas but we hope over the years to work towards birds who are calm, friendly, and don't cause trouble amongst themselves.
Simpler put. My goals are to raise chickens that are pretty to look at, that lay pretty, decent sized eggs (ignoring the bantams in this goal of course!) and are healthy and easy to care for and bring joy to people.
Though we are new to chickens (our first chickens were purchased in 2021) We started with intent and purpose and as much knowledge as any beginner could obtain. Everyday we learn more and will continue our pursuits of knowledge to be better breeders and improve our birds.
Why do you want chickens?
This is something I was asked rather a lot in the past when I talked to friends and family about wanting chickens someday. So here are My personal reason for wanting and having chickens. Maybe you will find that some of these things apply to you as well.
Enjoyment
-
First and foremost, we got chickens for our own enjoyment. This is the primary reason we own chickens. Simply because I like having them. They are enjoying to watch and interact with. Every chicken on our property comes to "here chick chick" and will eat from your hand. Even the roos who turn bratty.
Eggs
-
Secondly we have chickens to provide us and our family with a dependable source of fresh eggs. We sell any eggs we don't need to the public to offset feed costs. Our eating egg prices are figured based on what will break even on feed for the number of chickens we have. If you think egg prices are high we will happily trade you eggs for feed! (the specific, custom mixed feed that we feed of course!) Selling eggs allows me to enjoy my chickens without any guilt for what they might otherwise do to our bank account each month!
Breeding
-
Third we bought chickens because I enjoy breeding. It is something that has always been in me. I will discuss breeding goals more thoroughly below.
Pasture Management/Bug control
-
Thanks to our livestock guardian dogs we can safely free range our chickens within our pastures. By doing so the chickens spread out grazing animal manure while searching for bugs. When they do this the manure breaks down faster. This improves our soil and lessons the number of pest insects that can reproduce via the manure. We are hoping this will help us with fly control in the years to come. In addition to reducing fly numbers in this manner, chickens also eat a great deal of insects. The chickens will help reduce pests that cause damage to our garden vegetables, livestock, and pets.
​
Income
-
The last reason we have chickens is for a source of income for the farm. With the goal in mind of being able to someday, hopefully, maybe make a profit ( yes I know I know dream big or go home right?) We are breeding the best birds we can find of the breeds and varieties that we want to raise. All of our purebred birds are bred with the Standard of Perfection in mind. All of our crossbred birds, like our Olive Eggers, Green Eggers, and Easter Eggers will be bred with purpose and goals. Animals that don't meet our criteria due to flaws will be used for eating eggs or sold. Or... occasionally kept as a pet. A bird that has too much orange color on his head for it's variety or the wrong comb type and won't work for us might be bird that someone else would love to have in their backyard flock.
Visiting the Chickens
We do offer farm tours by appointment only. Tours to the public are $10/person for one hour with a minimum of $40. Children under 2 are free.
We do not allow visitors in the chicken pasture for biosecurity purposes, but visitors can see them from across the fence.
Max number of people per tour is 10.
Children will be required to be accompanied by an adult and expected to obey farm rules. We reserve the right to ask you to leave if your children are unruly. This is both for the safety of our animals and the children themselves.
No pets allowed.
Due to the number of animals on our farm and the fact that we keep livestock guardian dogs, for our animals' safety and the safety of your pets please leave them at home. True service dogs are welcome but must stay on leash and may be restricted to certain areas for their safety.
All visitors will be required to either clean and disinfect shoes OR wear booties that we will provide when walking in any pastures.
Please contact us to schedule a farm tour.
