Our Heritage and Hybrid Breeds

Bielefelder

Bielefelders are large, gentle birds known for their beautiful autosexing plumage and consistent brown egg production. Originating from Germany, they’re as practical as they are striking—friendly, hardy, and excellent for both eggs and meat.

Black Copper Marans

French Black Copper Marans are known for their rich, dark chocolate-colored eggs and striking black plumage with copper accents. We selectively breed for darker egg color while maintaining the breed’s calm temperament, hardiness, and reliable egg production, making them a standout choice for both beauty and performance in the flock.

Buff Orpington

Buff Orpingtons are gentle, fluffy, and dependable layers of large brown eggs. We select for strong genetics, great mothering instincts, and calm temperaments, making them a perfect choice for backyard flocks and families.

Cream Legbar

Cream Legbars are an autosexing breed known for their striking crests and beautiful blue eggs. We selectively breed for deeper blue egg color while preserving the breed’s hardiness, active nature, and excellent foraging ability, making them a vibrant and productive addition to any flock.

Whiting Type Blue Layers

Whiting-type Blue Egg Layers are known for their excellent production of consistent blue eggs and efficient feed conversion. These birds are active, hardy, and bred specifically for productivity, making them a great choice for those who want reliable blue eggs without sacrificing performance.
