Fully Feathered Flock

Our favorite way to offer our heritage birds. You can reserve chickens, ducks or guinea hens in advance and we will set your order under a broody hen to hatch your future flock. The mother hen will better hatch the healthiest and most viable chicks compared to an incubator. When the chicks hatch under the hen, she will pass on immunity to various illnesses and will teach the chicks how to scratch, groom and hide from predators, offering them a better chance of survival in a free range setting.
