Barred
Plymouth Rocks are one of America's oldest and most
popular breeds. Developed in New England in the early 1800's
by crossing Dominiques and Black Javas, the breed has spread
to every part of the U.S. and is an ideal American chicken.
Prolific layers of brown eggs, the hens are not discouraged
by cold weather. They are an excellent dual purpose breed, known
for their efficient production of large brown eggs. |

Introduced
into this country in the 1920's, Black Australorps
are one of the most popular producers of large brown eggs
and they are known for persistency of lay even in hot weather.
This breed originated in Australia developed from Black Orpingtons
imported from England. The green sheen of this solid black
plumage bird presents a truly beautiful sight, particularly
when the sun is reflecting off the plumage. Pullets mature
early and most are in production at 5 months of age. They
are quiet, gentle, and stand confinement well.
We also use a Black Australorp rooster to cross breed for
some of our Black Sexlinks.

|
Delawares
are a relatively new breed, which were first developed in the
state of Delaware from off colored sports that occurred when
Barred Plymouth Rock males were mated to New Hampshire females.
Their plumage is the beautiful, attractive black and white Columbian
color pattern. They have the same general shape as New Hampshire
Reds, which is much shorter and more compact as compared with
Plymouth Rocks. They are an excellent dual-purpose breed that
efficiently produces large brown eggs.
We also use our Delaware females to cross breed for Red Sexlinks
(shown below). |
 |
The Rhode
Island Red is one of the most famous and all time popular
breeds of truly American chickens. Developed in the early part
of this century in the state of the same name, they have maintained
their reputation as a dual purpose fowl through the years. Outstanding
for production qualities, they have led the contests for brown
egg layers time after time. Baby chicks are a rusty red color
and the mature birds are a variety of mahogany red.
We also use a Rhode Island Red rooster to cross breed for Red
Sexlinks and some of our Black Sexlinks (shown below). |

Easter
Eggers are any mixed breed chicken that lays a blue
or green egg. Most of them have beards or muffs. They come in
a variety of colors. They are friendly and curious, lighter-weight
chickens. Females mature to about 5 lbs.

Our strain of Easter Eggers is crossed with our pure Blue
Ameraucanas to improve their blue egg quality. |

Our Black
Sex Links are a breed cross using a Rhode Island Red
rooster or Black Australorp rooster and Barred Rock females.
The male chicks have a white spot on the top of their heads
and can be separated from the solid black female chicks when
they hatch. This cross, which is used in commercial layer operations,
is an efficient producer of large brown eggs. The females are
black with gold hackle and breast feathers and are egg laying
machines.
|
 |
Our Red
Sex Links are a breed cross using a Rhode Island Red
rooster and Delaware females. The females are primarily red
while the males are primarily white; therefore, the sexes can
be separated immediately following hatching. Both are shown
in the photo on the left at about 16 weeks old. This layer is
used in many commercial layer operations. They have excellent
livability, and are very efficient producers of large brown
eggs. They are easy to raise, and have a good feed conversion
ratio. |
