Black Copper Marans
Hatching Eggs: $120 per dozen / $150 per dozen shipped
Flock Established since 2019
Marans are named after the historic town where they originated in in France. Marans are most distinctly known for and sought after because of their large dark brown eggs. They are easily one of our favorite breeds. in addition to being beautiful dual purpose birds marines are incredibly well tempered. Our Marans roosters have always been the most perfect gentleman, graciously caring for their flocks while showing the same grace with their owners.
While we don't breed for egg color specifically, you can expect our Marans to offer large often speckled or heavy bloomed dark brown eggs.

Multi-Generational Olive Eggers
Hatching Eggs: $100 per dozen / $130 per dozen shipped
Flock established since 2018
In an effort to provide you (and us) with the most colorful egg baskets possible, we are offering a few different types of olive Eggers. We breed olives in multiple pens and breeding arrangements that will produce a mixture of First - Fourth generation Olives including as well as Second Generation back crossed Olives. All eggs will be labeled with the generation that will hatch from each egg.
Some of the things were focusing in our olive pens at this time are phenotype and homozygous blue carriers.
We are currently working to produce out second generation of Wheaten Olive Eggers. These eggs will also be included within multi-generational olive dozens. These lovely F1 birds are producing medium-large sized light green, usually heavy bloomed eggs. These F2 Offspring produced will offer the potential for birds who are both Homozygous or heterozygous for blue egg genes, and also birds who received no blue egg genes from either parent - these offspring would lay brown eggs as opposed to green. These eggs will be labeled F2 Wh.
Two of our olive pens are set up with later generation olive egger Roosters who have been tested and found to be Homozygous for Blue egg genes. This ensures that their offspring will receive at least one copy of a blue egg gene and will be guaranteed to lay some shade of green. These eggs will be labeled F4 as they will be producing fourth generation olive eggers.
You may also find first generation (F1) and Back Crossed (BC) olive eggs within these dozens. First generation offspring are guaranteed to carry one copy of a blue egg gene and female offspring will lay green eggs. Blue egg genetic probability I our back crosses depends on the pen they're out off. We have back crosses under homozygous blue roosters who's offspring will for sure inherit a blue egg gene from him and also some who will have a 50/50 chance to lay either green or brow eggs depending on which genes get passed down.
All eggs will be labeled!
***Please not that egg colors and shades will vary depending on many factors. We are unable to provide dozens consisting solely of our Darkest, Most Speckled, or heaviest bloomed eggs, but we will do out best to create as diverse olive dozens as the hens laying patterns allow.

Blue Laced Red Wyandottes
Hatching Eggs: $120 per dozen / $150 per dozen shipped
Flock established since 2019
Cultivating this flock of Blue Laced Red Wyandottes has been an exhaustive learning process. These pictures really don’t do justice to how beautiful these babies are in person. Not to mention, they are a sweet, docile, daily laying breed. Due to the nature of blue/black/splash genetics, from this pen you can expect to receive 50% Blue, 25% Black and 25% Splash offspring. Wyandottes are layers of regular sized cream eggs. Although, around here our Wyandottes often offer us eggs that appear to be pink!

Isabel / Wheaten Ameraucanas
Hatching Eggs $120 per dozen / $150 per dozen shipped.
Flock established since 2022
Isabel Ameraucanas are a lovely variety who were created here in Florida by Luanne D'Amico at Eight Acres Farm. They were meticulously created from crossing Wheaten and Self-Blue (Lavender) lines of Ameraucanas. As a dilution gene Lavender not only dilutes black, it also dilutes red and gold - which is how we get this illustrious, porcelain color in our Isabel Offspring.
Isabel Amerucanas will breed true and produce Isabel offspring 100% of the time. But - similarly to how we breed Lavender back to black every few generations in an effort to improve feather quality, we can also be breed Isabel birds back to wheaten. This pairing of Wheaten x Isabel will produce Split offspring who will appear to be wheaten but be carrying recessive Isabel (Lavender) Genetics.
All "Isabel" eggs going out at this time are from an Isabel/Wheaten (Split) x Isabel Pen, using a Wheaten/Isabel Rooster over Isabel Hens. Offspring from this pen will produce a combination of both pure bred Isabel and Isabel/Wheaten Split offspring.
Strict records should be kept when hatching split Isabel/Wheaten eggs. These birds who are split to isabel will present as Wheaten birds, but they'll be carrying recessive Isabel Genetics and should never be confused for pure bred wheaten ameraucanas.
***Our Isabel/Wheaten Roosters have been proven to be Homozygous Blue Egg Gene carriers through DNA testing.

This stunning variety of Welsummer was created using Barred Rocks to introduce a Silver Base into Welsummer lines. Like Isabel Ameraucanas credit for the developement of this variety belongs to Luanne D’Amico over at Eight Acres Farm.
In addition to their captivating colors, these ladies are regular layers of medium brown colored, speckled eggs, often with heavy blooms!

Hank's Silkies aka "Hankies" Silkies/Satins/Frizzles
Hatching Eggs: $70 per dozen/$100 per dozen shipped
Flock established since 2018
Our Silkie pen is "fun pen" filled with mixed colors of silkie, satin, frizzled and showgirl hens along side silkie and showgirl roosters. Eggs from this group will offer a really great chance for showgirls in every hatch. These will be *pet* quality silkies. We love the variety of feathering and coloring that their offspring produce! We've heard silkies referred to as the "kittens" of the chicken world and that is a perfect analogy. Our silkies are also great broody mommas.

Hen's Choice & Rainbow Dozens
Hatching Eggs: $100 per dozen / $130 per dozen shipped
These dozens will consist of a variation of eggs from any of our pens, dependent on whose laying at the time of shipping. Please note that some of these dozens may include eggs from project pens and are intended to be for those who are cultivating pet and colorful egg laying flocks, not for breeders looking for specific pure bred genetics. When listed we will always specify what breeds, varieties, and/or projects are contained within each dozen.

Special Request Dozens
Hatching Eggs: $130 per dozen / $160 per dozen shipped
We get a lot of messages inquiring if we are willing to split dozens between multiple breeds. The answer is yes, so long as availability is present. We're happy to configure these dozens any way you want but we suggest trying to stick with no more than three breeds. Due to the nature of shipped eggs and expectation of lower hatch rates, It's always our advice to start with as many eggs as possible of breeds who you really want to end up with chicks from.
Special request dozens will be a flat rate, independent of which breeds they contain.
