Raised on open pasture and supplemented with premium non-GMO feed, our barnyard-mix flocks have thrived in the outdoor environment, facing seasonal visits from wild birds and the watchful eyes of predators. This real-world resilience is reflected in the fertile hatching eggs they produce, ensuring strong and healthy chicks.
Breeds/lines: blue, green, white, and chocolate-brown layers (barnyard mixes selected for vigor). Our fertile hatching eggs come from flocks that are fed non-GMO feed and are pasture-raised. Handling: collected 1–2× daily, stored point-down, never washed. Availability: weekly; first come, first served. Pickup: At already scheduled event, on-farm or pre-arranged meet-up.
Our barnyard-mix flocks are built for real-world resilience, thriving on non-GMO feed in open pastures. They’ve been raised in outdoor environments, exposing them to the challenges of life outside, and selected for vigor.
Fertility: We maintain approximately 1 rooster per 8 hens to ensure strong in-season fertility, providing you with fertile hatching eggs.
Hatch Tips: For the best results with your fertile hatching eggs, set eggs within 7 days of lay. Store at 50–60°F, point-down, turning 1–2 times daily until incubation.
