We are now in the 5th year of our chicken project and have varieties you won’t find anywhere else! For Spring 2024, we have three breeding groups. Group 1: Crested White Layers look and act the most like Spitzhauben chickens and lay pure white, medium to large eggs. They are extremely winter hardy and predator savvy, and we have been working to thicken their combs (by crossing with Hamburg chickens) so they don’t suffer as much in the extreme Missouri summer heat compared to purebred Spitzhauben. For descriptions of the other Spring 2024 Breeding Groups, click here: Chick Season 2024.

Fertile hatching eggs from our breeding groups will be available for a limited time in the spring. After that, throughout the summer and fall, we offer free-range fertile hatching eggs while all our roosters are out with all the hens.

Starting from heritage chicken breeds in 2019, we have selectively bred and raised our flock to be beautiful, Missouri-climate hardy and predator savvy. Our birds and fertile hatching eggs are certified NPIP clean by the USDA and Missouri Department of Agriculture.
