Breeds
Ermine Ameraucana
Stunning variety of Ameraucana created by Becky Pelton. Beautiful black and white feathered, full muff and bearded Ameraucanas that lays a blueish-green eggs.
These are not to be confused with BBS (blue/black/splash). This is a dominant white and black variety. Their hatchlings could be either ermine, dominant white or black.
Wheaten Ameraucana
Golden wheat colored Ameraucanas with blue-grey trim. Lays gorgeous blue eggs and have adorable muffs and beards.
Wheatens come in a BBS (blue/black/splash) form but either wheaten, blue wheaten or splash wheaten. The males look distinguishingly different when it come to wheaten, blue wheaten and splash wheaten while the hens show their colors in their tail feathers. See our genetics page to see images.
Isabel Brahma
Isabel, sometimes also called isabella, refers to different lavender varieties in different breeds. In Brahmas it revers to gold penciled (aka partridge) with the addition of two copies of the lavender gene. This results in lavender penciling on a pale gold base. Similar to SSO, the difference between the lavender and pale gold can be so subtle that it can make the penciling a bit difficult to see in pictures. Our hatching eggs could come out 50/50 Isabel and gold partridge brahma.
Salmon Faverolle
Salmon Faverolles Chickens were originally bred by the French for meat and eggs. Faverolles lay a slightly tinted egg and are great layers through the winter. Faverolles are very gentle, do well with children, and can become affectionate with their handlers.
Faverolles chickens are characterized by their beards and muffs as well as feathers on their feet and legs. Faverolles also sport a fifth toe! Salmon Faverolles hens have a rounded appearance and are a light salmon brown color with creamy white breast, beard, and muff. Roosters have white neck feathers, a black beard and muff, and a reddish/salmon brown back with black breast, body legs and primary tail and wing feathers. Salmon Faverolles are not autosexing, but you can easily tell males and females by a few weeks of age. The females will remain the lighter salmon color, and the males will develop much dark brown and black feathers.
Faverolles are considered to be a threatened breed by the Livestock Conservancy. They are an excellent sustainable heritage breed, laying around 3-5 tinted to light brown or pink eggs each week.
Favaucana
A Favaucana is not a breed on its own but a cross (hybrid) between Faverolles and Ameraucana Chickens. Ours specifically are salmon faverolles over wheaten ameraucanas. Typically, they can have beautiful little muffs, beards, are large in size and feathered or non feathered shanks and feet. Many have 5 toes! They can lay anywhere from a seafoam green, blue, olive or tan egg.
Black Copper Marans
Beautiful large black chicken with copper hackle feathers and feathery legs. Lays stunning large, dark brown eggs, some with speckles! I only incubate 6 and higher on the BCM egg chart.
Olive Eggers
Our Olive Eggers are a hybrid of a black copper maran rooster over a blue egg layer such as an Ameraucana or another green layer or hybrid chicken. Range of shade of green will vary. Some even may be speckled! Add color variety to your egg basket with these olive eggers!
Silverudd's Blue
Silverudd blues are a docile and petite bird that lays a medium to large moss to green colored egg with speckles. They are the only true green layers without being a hybrid! They come in 3 colors, blue, black and splash.
Most ours are splash which mean they carry two copies of the blue gene!
Silverudd's come in a BBS (blue/black/splash) variety.
Deathlayers
Silver Deathlayers are ultra-rare 400-year-old German breed must be one of the most beautiful chickens in existence with shimmering white hackle and saddle feathers, an iridescent scale pattern on the breast, solid black eyes, and a compact cushion comb. They are rumored to lay eggs to the day they die and in German are called, Totleger, which directly translated is “death layer”. They lay medium sized white eggs.
Ayam Cemani
The Ayam Cemani is a rare breed of chicken from Indonesia. They have a dominant gene that causes hyperpigmentation (fibromelanosis), making the chicken mostly black, including feathers, beak, and internal organs. Lay a medium size tan egg. Coolest chicken around!
Zombies
Zombie Chickens are a hybrid between Ayam Cemani and White Leghorn. They will lay light tan to white eggs. They carry the fibromelanosis of an ayam cemani on the skin and some feathers. With mostly white feathers and black skin, these birds have a cool and unique appearance with the prolific egg laying gene of a leghorn.
