Black from our Black show lines
Blue from our blue only project pen
2. Black Copper Marans from our show
lines
3. Barred Plymouth Rocks from our big
heritage show lines

Black from our show lines

Thank you for your patience as we improve our space. Look forward to shipping you quality hatching eggs. 😁🐓❤️🐣🐣

The 2025 hatching season is upon us! Time to dust off those incubators, hatchers and broodies. 😂

Hatching vigorous chicks starts with a healthy happy breeding flock. Time to ensure your birds have the vitamins, minerals, grit and calcium needed to give you better hatch rates and healthy chicks. Make sure your girls and boys get light to increase fertility. Practice good husbandry by keeping your coops clean and dry, checking for bugs and ammonia regularly.

Remember chicks continue to grow internally (organ, respiratory, etc.) those first seven days after hatching. It is critical they get nutritious food and water beginning at hatch through this important growth phase. Giving your chicks a healthy start will help them be healthy happy adults.

We hope you find these tips useful in your hatching program. Here's to a successful breeding and hatching season for 2025!
Stay safe friends. 😁🐓❤️

Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday season! 😁❤️🐓

Hope everyone is staying warm as we head into winter. I am ready to turn the corner and begin increasing daylight again. Short days are a bummer for the girls.
As the winter solstice approaches (12/21) and the days begin to lengthen, I encourage you to keep a count of your eggs. Since this is the month I start sorting my flock out into breeding pens, I count my eggs by the pens. If you have not tried counting eggs, you will be surprised at how your egg count increases as the daylight grows longer.
Anywho, here at Cackling Hens Farm, we wish you a safe and happy holiday season. 😁🐓❤️

We are in full flock molt here at Cackling Hens Farm! We did not make the shows this fall but should be back on schedule for 2025 spring shows.
With the lateness of some of the molt, we don't anticipate taking hatching egg orders until after the first of the year. We will post it here in January.
Thank you for supporting our small hobby farm. 😁❤️🐓

Happy 4th of July from our family to yours!

Our flock of growouts are getting bigger every day! We are already sorting through our show stock and pulling out our keepers. We have begun offering growouts in Black Copper Marans (BCM) and Barred Plymouth Rock (BPR). As we move through the summer, we will offer Ameraucana in 3 accepted varieties - Black, Blue, and Spash (Blue and Splash are limited).

Local pickup or chicken transport as we do not ship.

Hope everyone has a safe summer. Stay Cool! 😁❤️🐓

Happy Flag Day!!

Hope everyone had a great breeding and hatching season. This time of year we begin switching from hatching to growing out our show flocks. We will wrap up hatching eggs and hatching chicks by the 4th of July.

While we have had good fertility and egg production in most of our breeds and varieties, we hit a snag this season with our self blue pens. To say they under performed is a big under statement. Again we apologize to those who were on the list for hatching eggs as due to low fertility we did not fill any hatching egg orders for this variety. We have rectified the problem and sorted the birds with the hope of a great next season.

As we close in on the end of summer, we will be offering growouts mainly from our Ameraucanas and BCM pens. Depending on what we have, we usually offer breeding trios and/or pullets and cockerels.

We do not ship growouts but there are transports that will pick up and deliver your birds. We plan to attend 2 big shows this season and routinely bring birds to the shows. We also put birds in the sales areas or donate to the club auctions. We try to offer good breeding stock to help folks improve their breeding programs.

For those that contacted us about growouts, be sure to reach out to us if you are still interested.

Here's to a safe and productive summer. We look forward to seeing folks at the shows this fall. 😁🐓❤️

Happy Easter!

Are you looking for some big heritage Barred Plymouth Rocks? we will begin offering hatching eggs in April. We ship hatching eggs but if you want chicks let us know as we have room to hatch them for you but chicks are local area pickup only.
In Ameraucana we have BBS eggs and should begin filling our Black line hatching egg orders by mid April. The Self Blues are still being stubborn but we hope our small test hatches will show good fertility in the few eggs collected.
The self blue waitlist is nearly full but we still have openings for BBS and blacks. Again if you are in the local area and need us to hatch just let us know and we will make chicks happen! Have a safe and happy Easter. Here is to a great spring! 😉🐓❤️🐣🐣

Happy St. Patty's Day.

We had a great day at the Virgina Spring Classic show yesterday. Had over 700 birds exhibited which is fantastic for a spring show! Our Ameraucanas did great taking Best Variety in Black, Blue, Self Blue, Brown Red and Splash. Our Black Cockerel took Res. AOSB and Best of breed, followed up by our Brown Red cockbird taking Reserve Breed.
Our heritage Barred Plymouth Rocks also took Best Variety and recieved complements on size and type. We still are working toward the SOP but are making great progress.😁❤️🐓
With spring show season complete, we are back at breeding and hatching. The weather has been up and down this year but the girls are just starting to lay in earnest. Got my fingers crossed 🤞 for the latest test hatch we set on Friday.
Take care everyone and happy hatching! 😁❤️🐓🐣🐣
