Our Breeding Stock

Our chickens aren’t just livestock—they’re living proof of our dedication. We specialize in unique, carefully curated breeds such as the uber rare Ayam Cemani, English Orpingtons and our beloved hybrids we refer to as our "colorful layers." From the first day of hatch, our birds are started on organic herbal tinctures and our proprietary blend of feed, socialized for gentle temperaments, and bred for vigor, beauty, and health.

Our Feed

What began in 2012 as a 2 year research and development project for the sole desire to create a high quality feed for our breeding stock, organically grew into what is today known as our NON GMO lineup of Livestock feeds.

Once the formula was perfected, we began giving away small amounts of feed with chick purchases. Customers raved about the quality and freshness and wanted more! Since 2014, we’ve been crafting small-batch, freshly milled whole-grain feed from the farming rich area of Geauga County, Ohio.

The process of milling our grains is old fashioned simplicity. Soybeans are roasted just days before milling. Grains are then added to a hopper, where we blend in premium add-ins—sea kelp, brewer’s yeast, black oil sunflower seeds and Vitamin/Minerals. All of this goodness is blended with warm molasses.

The quality of this feed is evidenced by strong-shelled, deep-yolked, highly nutritious eggs, and a flock with optimal beauty and vitality.
