Okay.

We breed RIR and other breeds. We sell eggs and chicks. They started as a hobby and we just fell in love with breeding and raising chickens. We only do chickens for now. No waterfowl, etc.

We are working towards breeding for SOP and exhibition quality. Many of our breeds are already there but there is always room for improvement. The reds are our absolute favorite overall. Their overall appearance and temperament won me over.

I have not entered any shows. I was going to start this year and so many cancelled that I felt it best to stay away. I did begin entering a variety of online shows. It is not the same but it is a start.

We are NPIP - VA 52-316

Other breeds:
Large fowl - BCM, polish, salmon faverolles, BLRW, maran mix
Bantam - frizzle and non frizzle cochin

We are adding breeds this coming year. For now, the ones we have, 5 dogs, 2 cats and a 7 month old is a great start.
