    Olandsk Dwarf Chickens

    I agree with Greeenslanding. Tahlia goes broody anytime I let her keep her clutch of eggs (anything above 5), and she is a fantastic mother. She also is a very consistent layer (an egg a day or every other day depending upon if she is let out daily). Production slows in the winter when we keep...

    Olandsk Dwarf Chickens

    They are the very best, I have very much enjoyed my pair, they're even primarily raised indoors. What's great is that my roo doesn't crow much, just after I wake up (he's really great about not crowing at the crack of dawn, but only after we're awake), to be let out in the morning, and strangers...

    Olandsk Dwarf Chickens

    Honestly, I'm unsure. I can confirm that interest in them is still going strong, there are always posts from people inquiring about them and accepting them when I post availability in the classifieds section. I know there was a period of about a year around two to three years ago that Greenfire...

    Olandsk Dwarfs: 2 Cockerals and 6 Pullets

    My Tahlia is still laying, and she went broody in October, and because people are still searching for Olandsks... and I can't bear to take them away from her, I let her hatch them. Anyone here interested in this uncommon variety? I am open to price/chick, I just want someone who is interested in...

    These are my Thanksgiving hatch, growing fast! I definitely have one roo... and maybe a second, but the remaining 6 are all girls. I love this breed :)

    Olandsk Dwarf Chicks

    I always vow my last hatch is my last hatch, because I am so certain that, at age 3, Tahlia would no longer go broody, and that she'd stop laying eggs. She's still laying, and she went broody, and because people are still searching for Olandsks... I can't bear to take them away from her. One's...

    Olandsk Dwarf Chickens

    This is a comparison of an Olandsks egg with a regular large egg from the supermarket. They lay approximately every other day but sometimes the next day (a pleasant surprise). But I have found that it may be directly related how much daylight/outdoor time they get. (Mine are primarily indoors...

    Olandsk Dwarf Chicks hatching May 11-12

    If anyone's interested, my hen went broody, so I let her keep her eggs. They'll be hatching in about two weeks. Just FYI, I am not a breeder or anything, my birds are strictly pets, and loved and spoiled. I only know that my hen and roo came from two separate batches of eggs, and they're about a...

    Bermuda Buttercups

    Hello! I am wiling to purchase from you some of your Bermuda Buttercups! They're something I recall from my childhood, and miss them so much. I don't want to look strange going into someone's yard to dig them up, and it sounds like you have a lot. Any chance you would be willing to dig up a...

    Olandsk Dwarf Chickens

    Thank you! :) 8 healthy chicks :) Talia and the other chicks was picking on #8 when it hatched yesterday evening, so we removed it, let it fluff out and get some energy before sneaking him back under her yesterday. So far, so good. Monitoring the interactions closely :)
