Poultry Breeds

Rainbow Layers

Over time, I have shifted our focus to move from pure breeds to mixes to create different colour variations. That being said, for this mix we use purebred roos and hens along with different generations of Olive Laying chickens (F1, F2, F3, F4, BC1, BC2, BC 3, etc). The dark colours you see often come from Marans, while different blooms and speckling come from Isbars, and more! You can expect nearly any egg colour from this group of chickens – white, tan. brown, dark brown, mint, green, blue, olive, deep olive, and many with speckling and/or purple and gray blooms at times.

Olive Mix Layers

Similar to our Rainbow Layers, the Olive Layer mix has a wide variety of different potential egg colours. In this pen we focus more on greens and deep browns along with speckling and various blooms. You can expect shades of blue, mint, green, olive, deep olive, brown, and deep brown eggs from this mix.

*With all hatching eggs, please keep in mind that the egg you incubate may not have a chicken inside that lays the same colour. This can lead to surprises, but roos influence egg colours along with the hens, so you will not know the exact egg colour until your chickens mature.

From the Greenhouse

Seedlings of various types are available starting in the spring months. Due to the nature of gardening, plant availability might change throughout the season. Mature produce such as tomatoes, peppers, and herbs will be available starting in July. Summer and winter squashes and pumpkins are available later in the season.
