I am from a long line of poultry farmers, both as homestead flocks to process farming but I had not dipped my toe into the poultry pond until just this past February .

I initially purchased 15 chicks, 5 mixed breeds , 5 Cuckoo Marans, and 5 Black Stars.....hoping for 15 hens....ended up with 7 roos and lost two hens to predation ...so I had 6 hens left after I culled roos....I purchased 5 more hens and now have 11 hens....


This is Smurfette my Blue-laced Wyandotte mix Olive Egger....very olive drab colored eggs, with speckles in them...lays every other day...

Lucy and Ethel My Gold Laced Wyandottes mix..they both lay LARGE blue eggs.... very bright sometimes almost Robin's egg blue...lay almost EVERYDAY....these two plus one of the C/queens are just egg factories....


A likeness of my hen Maude...she's camera shy! A Silver-laced Wyandotte...she lays pink eggs...same exact color every egg...lays 5 days a week

This is Jethrine, my Cuckoo Marans hen and the Alpha hen...lays large chocolate brown eggs...lays 5-6 days a week...

I have three Cinnamon Queen mix.....lay 5-6 eggs each per week, per hen in a lovely light green to blue colored shell...

and 3 Black Stars... that lay brown with lovely speckles all over them eggs. anywhere from 3-6 eggs per week per hen..
