Olive Eggers are created by breeding a chicken that lays blue eggs with one that lays dark brown eggs. There is a 99% chance that they will lay olive eggs – every now and then, there might be an outlier, though! The eggs you receive will either be blue or dark brown, depending which pen we pull from. All will produce F1 Olive Eggers. Chicks might be any color, could have any comb size, and might or might not have feathered leg shanks, fluffy cheeks, or crests on their heads.

Common question: why do hatching eggs cost more than ones for eating? We test fertility weekly and sometimes even daily, which involves opening and destroying multiple eggs to check for rings. We also take the time to turn them daily to prevent the embryos from sticking to the sides, and always provide the freshest ones available for hatching. For table eggs, we do the opposite - we sell them from oldest to newest and don't pay attention to fertility or which breed laid which egg.
We are cleared to send to almost every US state. Please check this link to see if there are special regulations in your state. We would provide a VS Form 9-3 and are AI Clean.
We ship hatching eggs Monday-Tuesday after payment is received. If we see that the weather is too hot/cold or if we notice issues with hens or their fertility, we might delay shipment in order to help you get the best possible hatch rate.
Please note that we cannot guarantee hatchability - shipped eggs have a 0%-100% hatch rate, based on how they're handled in transit. Even eggs driven a few minutes in our/your car might end up being jostled too much. If transported eggs don't hatch, it does NOT mean they're not fertile or are old - it just means that they were overly stressed during travel. Transporting eggs is a gamble, which is part of why they're so much cheaper than live birds.
Depending on packaging availability and size/amount of eggs, we either use foam shippers or individually wrap each egg in bubble wrap surrounded by wood shavings. If you have a preference of shipping method, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.
Shipping charges are dependent on USPS prices and the cost of supplies. Right now, it looks like it will be around $25-35 for packaging & a Priority box, which comfortably fits 1-2 dozen chicken eggs. Priority Express would be about $75-100. We do not bother with fragile stickers or other labels because USPS just ignores them or purposely treats them worse.
First and foremost, ALL SALES FINAL - no refunds or returns of any kind will be accepted. We stand by our offerings and want buyers to be happy, but as soon as animals or products leave our hands, whatever happens to them is out of our control. There are too many risks involved with accepting returns that might have been mistreated, infected, or tampered with once off our property.
Due to the amount of cancellations after people have asked us to hatch or hold birds for them, a non-refundable deposit is required to reserve or hold any bird that has hatched or is about to hatch. Deposits are non-refundable for any reason UNLESS enough of your chosen breed(s) have failed to hatch, or your chosen bird(s) have passed away here in our care, or we notice something wrong with the bird(s). If that is the case, we will provide the option to either refund the missing count, substitute with a different bird of the same value, or hold your deposit for the next hatch. Each hatch takes 21-35 days, depending on species.
Our birds are cleared to transport to almost every US state. Please check this link to see if there are special regulations in your state. We would provide a VS Form 9-3 and are AI Clean.
We tried shipping live birds through USPS again in 2024, but it did not go well - they couldn't even deliver one state over via Priority within 4 days. We had to pay Express to get 3 Day delivery from WI to MI, and our local USPS hub was pretty aggressive in trying to convince us not to ship live birds. So from now on, we're going back to local meetups, livestock transport arranged by the customer, OR SpeeDee Delivery for deliveries in the Midwest.
Buyer is responsible for arranging transportation of all live animals. A $1 per day boarding fee will apply if a purchased animal is not picked up at the arranged-upon time. We are willing to meet within a half hour of Mishicot, Wisconsin, for free. We'd be happy to make further deliveries with a delivery charge of $1 per mile for the round trip. That is about the price of gas for our truck. We've also worked with a few livestock transporters. Click here for our favorites. They are not cheap, but take excellent care of the critters in their care.
We personally do not vaccinate our birds, but we do offer the optional Marek's vaccine to buyers of chicks. We do not administer it by default and our parent stock are not vaccinated. It costs an additional $75 per hatch (the vial is around $35, shipping to us is around $35, and injection supplies are around $5). If we receive multiple orders for vaccinated chicks, we try to group those hatches together and spread the cost between buyers, meaning that we would be able to partially refund the vaccine cost.
Our sponsors and advisors with decades of experience VERY strongly encourage the Marek's vaccine because the disease is absolutely devastating and basically unavoidable, especially if birds regularly travel to shows or if owners attend sale barns or swap meets.
There are a couple downsides to the Marek's vaccine which have caused us to decline using it in our flocks. One is that the specific vaccine we have access to has been around since the 70s and is only about 60% effective against some strains of the disease. The second issue is the way ALL current Marek's vaccines work - they are all "leaky," which means that they do not prevent a chicken from being infected with the disease; they only keep tumor formation and other symptoms from popping up. So if Marek's does invade a person's vaccinated flock, they might never know about it and become super spreaders, because the vaccine only prevents symptoms, not the actual disease itself. That's the main reason we don't use it - we want to make sure our birds don't have any hidden illnesses that could be passed on to our customers.
We do have access to a few other vaccines and are willing to administer them upon request. Buyer would need to pay the full nonrefundable balance up front. These include Mycoplasma Gallisepticum, Fowl Pox, Coccidiosis, Newcastle, Salmonella, and Coryza. Some of these are not safe to use around turkeys, though, so please research them before purchase.
Since even day-old chicks of autosexing breeds can be guessed wrong 10-20% of the time and we definitely aren't brave enough to vent sex because it kills about 10% of babies even when performed by trained experts, we cannot guarantee gender accuracy and are unable to refund, replace, or take back the animal if we're wrong. Some (we’re looking at you, Ameraucanas) might take a few months to confirm, and one (Tufted Romans) we still can't figure out without DNA sexing or watching an egg actually leave their body.
If you end up with an unwanted male and don't want to process him yourselves, we recommend contacting any Amish, Hispanic, or Asian communities that might be near you, or even possibly large reptile or raptor owners or rescues. There are a lot of rooster rescues out there who will let them live out their days, as well.
Due to the nature of our offerings, we cannot guarantee health or viability of any animals once they leave our property, and all sales are final. We are part of the National Poultry Improvement Plan and annually test for Pullorum-Typhoid and Avian Influenza. In order to maintain our NPIP status and for the biosecurity of our flocks, we do not allow visits to our poultry areas or allow purchasers to select birds from our brooders, but we will gladly take photos/videos upon request. We maintain mostly closed flocks, with the exception of occasional new birds brought in from other NPIP farms to minimize inbreeding. These are strictly quarantined for 1-2 months after purchase.
We do not have access to an avian vet who can draw blood for us, so we do not regularly test for other diseases unless a bird has died of unexplained causes. If we suspect an illness, we send samples to the University of Wisconsin's accredited lab for testing. We last submitted a bird October 2022. She came back clear of AI and the necropsy showed egg yolk peritonitis from e-coli and a small amount of coccidia. In March 2022, another bird was submitted and cleared of AI and Mycoplasma. She had bronchitis due to staph. We would be happy to provide copies of the reports.
All of our animals are from the very best lines we could find, with many exhibition winners in their gene pool, and we do our best to adhere to the Standard of Perfection laid out by the American Poultry Association and/or specific breed clubs. This does NOT guarantee that our animals or any of their offspring will be show quality or win awards. About 1 in 100 birds that hatch for even elite Master Breeders would be considered exhibition quality. That's just how the lottery of genetics works. In order to be fully transparent, we have listed flaws that we've noticed and are working towards correcting in the pages for each breed we raise.
We cannot guarantee that your birds will lay a certain color. There is a spectrum of approved colors for each breed, and each bird lays a slightly different egg. Color, shape, and size vary through each season and even from day to day.
First and foremost, ALL SALES FINAL - no refunds or returns of any kind will be accepted. We stand by our offerings and want buyers to be happy, but as soon as animals or products leave our hands, whatever happens to them is out of our control. There are too many risks involved with accepting returns that might have been mistreated, infected, or tampered with once off our property. However, we do make one exception noted in our Health & Viability Disclaimer below.
We reserve the right to cancel a sale at any time, for any reason, at our discretion. Any deposits will be refunded in full if we choose to cancel a sale.
We reserve the right to collect up to 30 straws from any intact buck that we sell, at any time during his life, for the cost of collection.
We reserve the right of first refusal - if you have bought one of our goats and plan to sell them, we request dibs on the right to buy them back. We won't always be able to do it depending where we are in life and how full our herd is, but we ask for the opportunity.
Priority for sales is given to Performance Herds. This means that if a Performance Herd expresses interest in a goat that other people have also asked us about, they will get dibs UNLESS that goat has already been reserved with a deposit. Order of priority is: us > paid reservations > performance herds > waitlist > general public.
In addition, for each registered JKHerdItAll or JKShrunkTheKids goat born in 2024 or 2025, we are offering to pay the original buyer $50 for the first awarded milk star, linear appraisal, and/or sanctioned show award that the goat receives in the original buyer’s care, for a possible total of $150 per Oberhasli or Guernsey, or $100 per Mini Nubian (Mini Nubians unfortunately aren’t eligible for Linear Appraisal).
At pick-up, we request cash, PayPal Friends & Family, Venmo Friends & Family, or Zelle for the balance due. Balances due must be paid in full before the animal leaves our property. No checks will be accepted. We ask for Friends & Family after hearing horror stories of customers using the Purchase Protection option and then getting PayPal & Venmo to refund them after they have already taken the animal. We can't afford that.
If you want to be notified when/if a goat is available, ask us about our free waitlist. We will contact people on that list one by one as animals become available. If you're a Performance Herd, let us know and we'll bump you to the top of the list.
If you want to purchase a goat that isn't ready to leave yet or that you're not ready to pick up, ask us about placing a $100 deposit to reserve the goat. This holds the animal until they or you are ready, and we will stop advertising that animal. Must be 18 years or older to place a deposit.
A deposit is NOT required to purchase an animal from us. If you want to wait and pay in full, that is completely acceptable in this day & age of scammers - please just note that we will keep advertising the animal and it is first come, first serve without a deposit.
Deposits are non-refundable for any reason UNLESS we are unable to meet the specifications listed when that deposit was made. If we are unable to meet the specs, at your request, we can either refund your deposit, apply it to a different animal, or hold it for the next year.
If an animal meeting your specs is available and you decide that you do not want that one for any reason, your deposit is forfeited. If you have paid a deposit on a kid and have not picked them up by 10 weeks of age or arranged a pick-up date with us, your deposit is forfeited and we will resume advertising of that kid.
Cash, PayPal Friends & Family, Venmo Friends & Family, and Zelle are our preferred method of payment for deposits, but we also accept orders on our site. Sorry, no checks. We ask for Friends & Family after hearing horror stories of customers using the Purchase Protection option and then getting PayPal & Venmo to refund them after they have already taken the animal. We can't afford that.
The buyer is responsible for pick-up/transportation. If any vet exams or certificates are required to cross state lines, the buyer will pay for those before they take place.
If a reserved goat kid is not picked up by 10 weeks of age, a $3/day boarding fee will apply. If not picked up by an agreed-upon date, the buyer will forfeit any deposit and the animal will be the sole property of JK Herd It All to retain or sell, unless other arrangements are made.
We are happy to work with transporters coordinated by the buyer. Please be careful who you trust - there are a lot of fake or shady ones out there. View recommended transport options here.
Please remember that as soon as an animal or product leave our hands, whatever happens to them is out of our control and we cannot be held liable for them. There are too many risks involved with accepting returns that might have been mistreated, infected, or tampered with once off our property.
All of our goats have originated from clean-tested herds and have themselves tested free while on our farm of the Big 3 Diseases (CAE, CL, and Johne's), but because we brought in a few new herd members recently, all kids intended for sale will be bottle fed and kept on a separate pasture for the next few years. This helps to prevent the spread of undiagnosed disease.
If you would prefer a dam-raised kid, we would be happy to recommend some of our friends!
If kept on a bottle, most kids are ready to head to their new home by 4-5 weeks. If not picked up by 10 weeks, a $3/day boarding fee will apply.
All kids will be disbudded unless buyer pays full price within 5 days of birth - there is a very short window to safely disbud, and horned dairy goats are unfortunately difficult to find homes for.
Please note that disbudding can result in scurs, especially in bucks. We have it done by a vet with decades of goat experience, but it still happens sometimes. Many of our goats brought in from top herds around the country have ended up with scurs, too. It's just a thing to live with.
All kids will receive ear tattoos, and we also offer $15 tail web microchips upon request.
We will send in DNA orders to ADGA for buck kids intended for registration for free. For other registries, we can do it if buyer pays cost. It's something like $35 in 2024.
For kids intended for registration, we offer to submit online ADGA, MDGA, and/or BGS registration applications & transfers for free. We would need the buyer's full name, registry ID, phone number, email, and address to complete the transfer. If a buyer prefers to submit paper applications themselves, we can provide those instead. MDGA kids can be registered with TMGR by their new owners, by submitting an application along with a copy of the MDGA certificate.
Wethers and Pet Only goats will be sold without registry papers or applications.
We are dedicated to maintaining our herds and land as naturally as possible, but have come to terms with the fact that Wisconsin is not a natural environment for goats, and they sometimes need help thriving here.
After struggling with both clostridium and pneumonia in 2023 and then pneumonia and suspected clostridium again in 2024, we have decided to vaccinate our goats for both. We feel that an annual shot and squirt up the nose are a lot less detrimental than both of these very common infections and weeks of painful, often ineffective treatments.
We vaccinate our keepers with Cavalry 9 for clostridium/tetanus and Nasalgen 3 PMH IN for pneumonia.
We realize that this is a very personal choice, so we only vaccinate our keepers and not goats that we've listed for sale, unless requested. Kids will inherit some immunity from their dams and will be able to be vaccinated upon arrival at your farm. If you would like us to vaccinate a kid, we would be more than happy to do it for you, but only upon request.
Buyer has the option at the time of pick up to refuse the animal if they feel that the animal is not healthy. We cannot warrant the health status of an animal after it leaves our property. All sales are final. Taking an animal off our property implies that you have read and agreed to the sales agreement and are satisfied with the condition of the animal.
Stress can be rough on them and they can go downhill quickly. Something like shipping fever can infect and kill a kid within a few hours. Therefore, unfortunately, we can offer no warranties or guarantees on the health & viability of an animal. However, we do make one exception: if an animal sold as registered breeding stock is found by a licensed veterinarian to have a genetic condition preventing use in breeding, we will refund or replace that animal. Cosmetic conditions that might negatively affect the quality of the animals or their offspring do not apply; only conditions that prevent successful mating and raising of kids; such as hermaphroditism, freemartinism, or extra teats or orifices that we might have missed. We always check, but it can be hard to tell when they're kids!
Our goat herd is tested annually for CAE, CL, and Johne's. If any other tests are requested, we are happy to administer them if the purchaser pays.
As a parasite preventative, we treat our goats holistically with herbal products from Fir Meadows, Land of Havillah, BiteMe Treats, and VermOust whenever possible. We also use Bioworma, which helps to kill worms on the pasture. We run fecals on our whole herd three times per year, and more for individuals as needed. If herbal preventatives don't seem to be working on an individual goat, we will call our vet and use Western medicine.
Most healthy goats on pasture are able to handle small parasite loads, and some studies actually show that having parasites in low numbers keeps the immune system functioning well. But when a goat is stressed, those parasites can grow out of control. We highly, highly recommend running a fecal a week or two after picking up a new goat & treating if there is a heavy parasite load.
If we have sold a bred doe, we cannot guarantee that she will settle or will carry live, healthy kids to term. Goats don't handle stress well, and moving is stressful.
If we have sold a doe in milk, we cannot guarantee that she will stay in milk after she moves or that her quantity will remain the same. Again, goats + stress = unpredictable outcomes. Different management styles result in different production, too.
All of our animals are from the very best lines we could find, with many milk award and exhibition winners in their gene pool. This does NOT guarantee that our animals or any of their offspring will be show quality or win awards, or have amazing milk production or udders. That's just how the lottery of genetics works. In order to be fully transparent, we have listed flaws that we've noticed and are working towards correcting in each of our animals.Also, each farm is different and will be able to get different production levels out of an individual goat. What our goats produce here at our farm might not be what they produce at another. We cannot guarantee certain production amounts, even though we have data showing our girls' milk here.
After a looong wait, this season’s first chicks are hatching! Svart Honas, Buckeyes, and Partridge Chanteclers in this round.
Some of the Svarts still have annoying white toe tips, but it looks like we managed to eradicate the (very few but present) white wingtips we were seeing, so it’s progress! It’s looking like our rooster might be part of the issue, so we’ll try swapping him out to see how our other guy does. We’ve only got the two, though, so we’ll just keep carrying on & selecting the best!

We managed to snap a few updated pics of the bucklings yesterday while we kicked the youngest trio outside. A few of these guys are still up for grabs and would make really nice herdsires or pets!
A note on our pricing because some people seem a bit shell-shocked when they ask. All of our boys, if they go as pets/market, are 25-175 depending on age & whether we’re the ones wethering them. We’re happy to send most off that way. We offer VERY few doelings unregistered, but those are 100-350 depending on quality.
Registered pricing is more. We’re a performance herd and have stayed in line with or less than most others we’ve seen or worked with around the country. All registered kids start at 450 and go up depending on individual traits & recent pedigrees - we’re talking parents/grandparents, not way distant extended family. We’re still relatively new, so we won’t be asking 800+ for any of our kids (which we’ve gladly paid!) - but our most promising this year might be up to 750. And no, we don’t ask more for fun colors.
We’re not price gouging and certainly aren’t making a profit - we pay to provide the best care that we can for our critters & spoil them rotten, plus the performance programs are also pricey. And don’t even get us started on the genetics we’ve brought in! Seriously, Ken never needs to know exactly how much we’ve spent on goats 🤣
But to us, it’s worth it! We’re doing what we can to help promote and actually improve our chosen breeds, not crank out cheap sale barn critters. Not that there’s anything wrong with that - it’s just two different markets.
We DO sometimes have culls listed at sale barn prices, and we do our best to be fully transparent about all real and perceived faults for those ones.

Late last night, our new Guernsey doelings arrived to round out the family! We’ve been low-key stalking the BadMoonRizn herd for a few years now and jumped at the chance to grab Bellflower and Maple - Bellflower is an ADGA Purebred out of one of our favorite does of theirs, Bouquet Buttercup, and Maple is a 50% Saanen with a super nice Cherry Glen dam 😍
Massive thanks to Cheri & Stanley, and to Katherine Sancuk for transporting these cuties!

Training First Fresheners is just so, so great 🙃
We’ve been super lucky this year until now! Sharp kicked and bucked and had to be straddled the first couple times, but chilled out pretty quickly. Avalon is our most timid goat, though, so we knew that she’d take a ton of extra time and snackies to hopefully behave 😅
We have a 2-week break from kidding - the doe due next is Ober-Boerd Kirlia! Kirlia is the littermate sister to Kyurem, the 2024 National Junior Champion, so we’re super eager to see what she has in store for us!

We were like, “Man, Rowena still isn’t acting quite right!” It kinda felt like there was something when we bumped her, but Jess didn’t feel anything by reaching inside, and there was a little placenta-looking bubble hanging out. We were going to poke around again and dose her with calcium after milking the other girls, if whatever was going on hadn’t passed by then. Apparently, Jess didn’t dig down deep enough or was checking the wrong side, because two girls schlorped out right as we checked the camera, almost 3 hours after their brother was born!
Rowena is our only doe who kids standing up, with zero sound, so it’s hard to tell what’s going on with her 😅

We take back anything negative we’ve ever said about Encore 🙌

A spotty boy for Davinia’s SS Miss Rowena *P and Blackberry’s BQ Encore *B! It looks like he’s got roaning, too.
A few people have asked about pet wethers - he’d be a super nice one!
Encore apparently throws boys - every kid we’ve had from him has been a buckling so far! We’ll try a few other does with him this fall🤞

A very unexpected April Fool’s doeling for BCF Legacy’s PBB Avalon and Mosaic’s Smooth Criminal *B!
Avalon was due on 4/3 and had no obvious signs of labor yet, so she was out in Gen Pop and we were at the store when this baby was born! Our senior doe, Vivi, took her herd queen responsibilities to heart - Viv kept everyone away from the doeling, including her mama 😅
Avalon has zero udder, which shows the importance of having backup colostrum and/or colostrum replacer - we love Shepherd’s Choice from @premier1supplies - it has the highest IgG we could find, plus the kids tolerate it well.
There might be another kid in there, but Avalon isn’t a fan of being touched, so we can’t tell yet.
We’re SO glad that everyone seems to be okay - Avalon is our teeniest FF and smaller than some of our yearlings, so we’ve been terrified of her having birthing trouble!

Life is freezing mud today after a strong thunderstorm all night, and most of the girls refused to cooperate for pics, but check out Dolly 😍
We miiight keep one of her two boys, but the other will be up for grabs! They’re our only F6 (purebred) kids this year and have their *B.
We’ll try to get pics of the bucklings soon! One is a slender black & tan mini-me of Dolly and the other is a chonk & we think is buckskin like Denarius, but he’s so covered in white that we’re not 100% sure.

Sorry to our non-goat followers for the rear-end shot, but check out Green Gables Amazing Black Petunia’s cute little pre-udder 😍
We have three Comet daughters here, and absolutely adore them all - Petunia is looking like she’s going to turn out just as nice as Dolly and Lady! Now we just have to convince her that the milk stand will not unalive her after we moved it from its old spot that she was used to 😅

Trying to get cute pics of the geese is really hard when they’re trying to unalive us 😅
Luckily, they’ll be back to their sweet selves soon! Except Charlie - we don’t think he was handled much after hatching, so he usually just avoids us!

Two boys for Green Gables AC She’s a Doll 6*P and Storybook’s Denarius! The first one looks exactly like her, only with dark ears, and the second is a beefcake with lots of white. He came out with one leg back, which was super fun for everyone.
Both of these guys are eligible for their *B if registered. We’re leaning towards keeping one as a Denarius backup, but we’ll see!
*edited to add, because we don’t really care, but know that a lot of people do - they’re F6 and can be registered as purebred as long as their ears stay down!
