We’ve been focused on our layers and are so incredibly happy with the current laying mix that we’re flipping back to a good dual purpose meat bird. We eat and sell a lot of chicken (and broth! always have powdered chicken bone broth in stock) and have been researching a more self sustainable method without compromising on taste. This French culinary classic bird is becoming more popular in North America and we can raise them with our layers until month prior to finish/breeding. We’re flying in this beautiful line from back East and will be one of the first farms on the West Coast with these genetics that they’ve been carefully developing and crossing for the last decade.

Tis the season to start hardening off tomatoes. It’s been a cool start to the spring but we’ve been monitoring soil temps. Soil temp (not ambient) needs to stay above 10 degrees Celsius at night. Even if the ambient temperature drops below 10, it’s usually not for long enough to drop the soil temperature. We really like these soil thermometers! Check them first thing in the morning and when you get multiple above 10 mornings, you’re ready to start planting those tom’s!

Another incubator load going in! Only took the ladies 2 1/2 days to get me 12 dozen beautiful hatching eggs. This next batch will continue to be phenomenal layers, year round. And any colour of the rainbow! Over our purebred lavender Orpington roosters we are expecting some beautiful olive eggers. Day olds coming in 21 days and we now have off heat chicks available!

We have some really “fancy” looking chicks in our last hatch! We love watching their colourings and markings come through as they start to feather. We still have some day olds the the rest will be grown out for off heat sales next month.

Another incubator load! Day olds $8, off heat chicks $14 (straight run).

This year’s chicks are a phenomenal heritage “barnyard” mix of top egg laying breeds (summer and winter! We’ve been getting 3 dozen average a day from the ladies lately. Come spring, watch out!). The breeds were carefully selected and we brought in a lot of new heritage purebred lines last year from excellent stock across Canada. Previous year’s rooters were purebred Americuana’s (with the bluest blue egg gene we’ve seen - no hints of green tones). This year’s roosters are purebred Lavender Orpington’s. Our ladies consist of Gold and Silver Laced Wyandottes (purebred line we flew in last year, will be Wyandotte over the lavender Orpington roosters), Cream Crested Legbars (purebred brought in last year - over the Lav Orpington rooters were expecting some beautiful olive green shades), Austrolorp (3 generations), Lavender Orpington (purebreds last year from unrelated rooter lines), Easter Eggers (Americuana’s - most lay olive with a few laying blue. Expect to see extreme green olive shades from these ladies with high chance of blues), and Leghorn (3 generations - rooter was part leghorn, part high bread brown. Amazing layers and feed to egg ratio conversion).
We’re expecting some amazing olive eggers from this batch, but more importantly phenemonal layers through summer and winter. Chance of any colour of the 🌈 for eggs (even pink!). Ladies are extremely friendly and curious (our off heat goes straight to the main coop with no issues).
Located on Quadra Island but will deliver between Campbell River and Comox Valley. Will deliver w/min order and small delivery fee from Comox Valley - Ladysmith.

We finally laid you to rest ❤️ many of you knew her, she’ll always be apart of our story here. Half of you on the cliffs you were born to run, half of you in the waters you were born to swim ❤️

This year’s chicks are a phenemonal heritage mix of top egg laying breeds (summer and winter - we’re still getting 3 dozen eggs a day!). The breeds were carefully selected and we brought in a lot of new heritage purebred lines last year from excellent stock. Previous year’s roosters were purebred Americuana’s (with the bluest blue egg gene we’ve seen). This year’s roosters are purebred Lavender Orpington’s. Our ladies consist of Gold and Silver laced Wyandottes, Cream Crested Legbars, Easter Eggers (Ameraucana), Lavender Oprington, Leghorn (from rooster 3 years ago), Austrolorp. We are expecting lots of pretty olive Eggers and different green shades from this batch (brown over blue) but chance of any colour of the rainbow for eggs!! 🌈 🐣
