We couldn’t pick just one breed to specialize in – there are too many great chickens out there.
We raise a few heritage breeds that are docile, cold-hardy, and good foragers, plus a couple modern “designer” crosses for fun egg colors.
Between them, our girls lay everything from blue to deep chocolate brown. We often have hatching eggs, chicks, started birds, and occasionally adults available from non-hatchery lines.

Unlike Easter Eggers that hatcheries often sell as “Ameraucanas,” these are the real deal. Ameraucanas are a true, standardized breed known for their fluffy cheeks, pea combs, and consistently blue eggs that can range from pale sky blue to soft mint.
They’re cold-hardy, friendly, and tend to be calm and curious birds that do well in northern climates. We focus on well-started, non-hatchery lines with good temperament and strong type, making them a great fit for backyard flocks looking for both personality and reliable blue egg production.
Buckeyes are the only APA-recognized chicken breed created by a woman. They’re sweet and curious, always underfoot, and great bug hunters.
They’re also cold-hardy with tiny pea combs. Of all our chickens, these are our absolute favorite and we plan to always keep Buckeyes in our coop.
Even in the “fear stage” as chicks, they’re usually the first to rush us the second we open the brooder.
Originating in Canada, Chanteclers are a great fit for northern climates. They’re cushion-combed with tight feathering for severe winter weather, and they’re sweet as can be.
They love to free range, lay a lot of large brown eggs, and roosters can grow to around 9 lbs for anyone with a freezer camp.
A landrace chicken originating in Sweden, the Svart Hona shares the fibromelanistic trait of its famous ancestor, the Ayam Cemani – they are almost completely black, inside and out.
Also called the Swedish Black Hen, Svarts are larger, more cold-hardy, and far more rare than Ayam Cemani. Their eggs tend to be small to medium, but they lay extremely well and have excellent fertility.
We love rainbow egg baskets and have been experimenting with different shades of green.
Green egg layers are hybrids created by combining a blue-egg layer with a breed that lays brown, cream, or white eggs. Their looks can vary wildly depending on which breeds are in the mix.
We have different varieties available at different times, but we usually have F1 Olive Eggers and Easter Eggers for sale. We’ll add dedicated pages as we work to establish more consistent lines.
🎨 Simplified Logic: The Paint Shop
Think of a chicken egg like a wall. A blue egg layer builds a blue wall. A brown egg layer builds a white wall but covers it in brown paint.
So what happens when you mix them? The hen builds a blue wall (shell) but sprays it with brown paint (bloom). Blue wall + Brown paint = Green egg!
The darker the brown paint, the deeper the olive. The lighter the paint, the mintier the green.
Olive Eggers are created by breeding a blue-egg layer with a dark brown egg layer. Most will lay olive eggs, but shade can vary, and you can occasionally get an outlier.
F2 Olive Eggers are created by breeding an F1 Olive Egger to another F1 Olive Egger. Egg color can vary more at this generation – some will lay olive shades, and others may lay anything from blue/green to brown.
BC1 Olive Eggers are created by breeding an Olive Egger back to a dark brown egg layer. Some will lay richer olive shades, and some will lay darker brown tones instead.
Easter Eggers are typically created by breeding a blue-egg layer with a breed that lays brown eggs. Most will lay some shade of green, but the exact color can vary a lot.
Mint Eggers are created by breeding an Olive or Easter Egger to a blue-egg layer. Many will lay a brighter green shade, but some may lay olive or blue/green tones instead.
Sage Eggers are created by breeding an Easter or Mint Egger to a light brown egg layer. Some will lay a lighter “sage” green, and some will lay brown shades instead.
