Hi. I have a healthy beautiful flock of silver Appleyards. I’m just checking if there is any interest for anyone that wants to buy eggs. They are laying more then we can eat. They come from 3 different states so shouldn’t have many related. I’m willing to ship in the USA for $40 a dozen...
I totally understand. I know lots of people that have Marans in there flock and tell me the same but I did point it out to a fellow farmer and she said after it was pointed out she noticed the stronger flavor in some of her eggs and wanted to do a taste test to because they never did a side by...

I just wanted to share this encase anyone else has wondered about Marans eggs flavor or had a similar experience . I did a blind taste test with my family with several breeds we were raising at the time. For the most part my children wouldn’t eat eggs because they thought they didn’t like them ...

The patches one with the largest knob is a African x...
I have Bocking #4 (supposed to be created as animals feed) My geese are crazy for it to. I have to fence it off to give it a chance to grow back. They will eat very large amounts for days until it’s gone and I have never seen it cause any harm either. I am propagating as much as I can and making...
Yes soooooo many wild chickens 🤣 I am constantly chasing them . It is such a relief when they get outside ♥️ I’m grateful we don’t have any foxes, coyotes or bobcats. I used to live in Joshua tree and they were really hard to defend against.
We do have predators but they are only a threat when they are little. We have owls, hawks ,mongoose, rats, cats, wild pigs and occasional wild dogs. I keep all babies in my basement until they are about the size of a hen. Then they are safe to roam. The flock lets me known if there are any...
