Some of our day old Rhode Island
Red Chickens.
Red Chickens.
Guineas:
Standard Breed Guinea
These birds are great watchdogs! They will begin to yelp
when a strange person or animal comes into their area. They
are also great for insect control!
When a guinea is full-grown, it will have a naked head with a
hard crest on top. This gives them a look all their own!
Guineas are a delicacy for those who enjoy a rich-flavored dark
meat.
Our guineas are dark gray in color and have white drops of
color on their feathers (Pearl Guineas).

Our poultry are raised from a day old chick and some are
hatched on our farm. We get most of our poultry from a
hatchery at the age of one day. We raise them until they are 8
to 20 weeks old. They are free range after they are old
enough to be outside. They are feed quality gains and
medicated feed until they reach the age of 8 weeks.
Our poultry is state inspected and state tested disease free.
Our flock is a member of the National Poultry Improvement
Plan (NPIP) certified disease free.
If you would like to buy our poultry please call or E-mail for
prices or availability. Our chickens and Turkeys go fast so
we recommend that you reserve yours a head of time.
Chickens
Rhode Island Red Chickens:
Our most popular brown egg laying chicken. These deep red
colored hens are very calm and lay a larger brown egg. They
are good layers and lay all year round. The roosters are a
shinny dark red with greenish-black tail feathers. The hens
will weight about 6 1/2 pounds and the roosters will weight
about 7 1/2 pounds.

This old time favorite is a brown egg layer and a good one at
that. The Barred Rocks have black and white barred feathers,
with the roosters slightly lighter in color then the hens. The
roosters range from 6 to 7 pounds and hens about 6 pounds.
Ameraucana/araucana:
This is the famous colored egg laying chicken (nicknamed the
Easter Egg chicken). They lay olive green to turquoise blue
colored eggs. This hardy breed started in the United States in
the 1970s. They come in assortment of colors. The roosters
weight about 5 pounds and the hens weight about 4 pounds.
Golden Buffs (Red Stars):
These are a very good brown egg laying chicken. They are a
very laid back chicken. They start laying at about 22 weeks.
They are great all year round layers.
White Plymouths:
These very large bright white colored chickens are calm and
pleasant to be around. They lay a large brown egg and lay
good year round. Roosters are around 9 pounds and hens at 7
1/2 pounds.
