Meet our flocks
Turkeys
Turkeys are sometimes called Poultry Pups, and for good reason. Anytime we are doing things around them they are right there helping. They chirp excitedly when they hear us come outside and love their snuggles.
Turkey eggs are very nutritious and high in B vitamins. Some people that are allergic to chicken eggs can eat turkey eggs.
Ducks
We have a small flock of ducks, made up of Khaki Campbells and Silver Welsh Harlequins.
Our Khaki Campbells were raised here on our farm and are all very loving and so fun to watch playing in their pool.
The Silver Welsh Harlequins are a little larger than our Khakis, but just as well tempered.
Duck eggs are richer than chicken eggs with larger yolks and known for their use in baking. Some people can also eat duck eggs that are allergic to chicken eggs.
Chickens
We have a small Lavender Ameraucana flock along with a mix of Blue Andalusians, Production Blues, Brown Orpingtons, and Turkens.
Our original two hens, a Buff Orpington named Goldy and a Barred Rock named Midnight, were our introduction into this lifestyle. They are 8 years old and enjoying their retirement here. Our roosters think they are in charge, but the truth is these girls keep them in line.
Colonel, our newest rooster, was challenging one of our Ameraucana roosters, as we were integrating him into the flock. Midnight got between them and put them both in their places.
Fresh farm chicken eggs are more nutritious and better tasting than what you can buy from the store. If left unwashed they can be stored on the counter for a few weeks as they have a natural protective covering that keeps out bacteria.
