Brahma
The gentle giant of the coop. Feathered legs, pea comb, calm disposition. Ours are the birds visitors remember.
Our chickens
Standard breeds, Kikiriki micro-bantams, game fowl lines, and two Bourbon Red turkeys. Every bird photographed is a bird that lives here.
All poultry on the farm are treated for mites and internal parasites on a regular schedule. If you bring birds home from us, ask about our protocol — we're happy to share it.
Please note: we do NOT vent sex chickens. Chicks from our hatching eggs grow out unsexed — plan for roosters.
Standard breeds & bantams
Cochin
Big, round, fluffy, and sweet-tempered. Chinese in origin, on the Livestock Conservancy list.
Heritage
Silkie
Black-skinned, five-toed, and feathered like a dandelion. The broodiest hens on the farm — they hatch everybody's eggs.
Sultan
Turkish ornamental — crest, muffs, beard, feathered feet, the full kit. Gentle and odd. Hatching eggs available.
Heritage · Eggs available
Leghorn
The egg-laying machine. Flighty, productive, and ancient — one of the original Mediterranean layers.
Jersey Giant
The largest chicken breed in the world. Slow to mature, worth the wait. Black and calm.
Heritage
Barred Rock
The classic American farm chicken. Plymouth Rock, barred pattern, dependable as a fence post.
Polish
Crested, quirky, and prone to walking into things they can't see through the feathers. We trim crests around the eyes.
Heritage
Kikiriki
Tiny Puerto Rican micro-bantams bred more for their compact size, upright carriage, and outsized personality than production. Color and type vary from line to line because Kikiriki are a locally developed bantam type rather than an APA-standardized breed.

Game fowl
Our game fowl are kept and bred separately from the standard flock, with different goals and different handling. For game fowl questions, contact Natalie Doveden at [email protected] — she knows these lines better than anyone.
Ayam Cemani
Fibromelanistic throughout — black feathers, black skin, black comb, black bones. Indonesian origin. Hatching eggs available at $7/egg.
Game fowl · Eggs $7
Hmong
Traditional Hmong game fowl line. Hardy, alert, and bred for the traits the Hmong people have selected for over generations. Photo from Blue Sky Haven, source of our starter flock.

Bourbon Red turkeys
We keep two Bourbon Reds — a heritage breed on the Livestock Conservancy's list, and one of the most beautiful turkeys ever developed in this country. Chestnut-red plumage with white flight and tail feathers. Ours are named, opinionated, and in charge of the pasture.
