Available:

1 Blue Laced Red Wyandotte pullet (pictured), 5 months
1 Blue Laced Red Wyandotte hen, 1 year

They are disease tested and ready to be members of a new flock.

And a few special needs cases...

1) The most in need are three hens that will require a climate controlled/heated environment in the winter. They need placement before our temperatures cool off. They are healthy and lay. I can provide more detail and pictures through PM

2) A few young pullets that will make good members of a backyard layer flock that may or may not need occasional beak maintenance. No other health concerns.

NOTE: Pickup is in Bunnlevel, NC**
**Please know that I am sensitive to the fact that you may have to travel a considerable ways to get here. However, I am unable to travel to meet.

PM for details

It's on tonight...
If you've ever watched Olympic ice skating without any clue what a triple lutz is, but still felt like a halfway decent arm chair critic after watching a few go rounds with Tara Lipinski's help, watching this competition will be a similar experience.
Taylor Sheridan will be one of the hosts helping you understand what you see. If you have any interest at all in western horse sports, this will be one to watch!

And of course, you will get to see the sire of our next foal puts on a big show 🙂

We've reached the dinosaur fossil stage of pregnancy 🦖 This anatomy scan of the Golden Coins x Doras Berry Finest foal looked spot on for 91 days gestation. Signs are pointing to this likely being a c**t!

History was made last night in Las Vegas whose effects reverberate back here to our small farm in North Carolina.

Golden Coins and Kole Price smashed the record for the highest score ever recorded in NRHA history. Let that sink in a moment.

I noticed Golden Coins several years ago and distinctly remember telling my husband, "That horse is special. His movement, balance, and athleticism are the future of reining". He had no foals on the ground to see how he would produce, but we bred our mare with earnings in open competition to him anyway. Two embryos were created and frozen. One of those embryos is close to 90 days along in a recipient mare and due to arrive in April.

What an AMAZING accomplishment! Congratulations to Kole Price and Golden Coins!
Last night's competition will be broadcast on CBS August 22nd and Taylor Sheridan, the creator of Yellowstone, will be one of the MCs. It was dramatic, exciting, and worth a watch if you have even the slightest interest in western horse sports.

It's a good thing the cashiers at Walmart don't ask a lot of questions...

Like, why I just bought the entire stack of discounted kiddie pools.

I imagine it would go something like this: "Well, you see, I breed Sebastopol geese (proceed to show them a picture on my phone) and they really prefer water for breeding. Their fertility rates really increase...."
Cashier: "😳. Next in line please."
..Sometimes, I really do forget that certain conversations that feel so normal among farm circles really require a filter in public 😄 A dear friend had to gently remind me of that recently.

Also, if you have ducks or geese, this is your sign that now is the time to stock up on your pools from Walmart and Dollar General.

While all the breeding birds are busy molting, new babies are growing, and the 2027 foal is cooking, we have been taking a short break from posting to social media during our "off season". It won't be long before the fall breeding selection process starts up for the chickens, geese, and sheep. That's when the real fun begins!
As always, feel free to reach out with questions!

Our mare's 60 day ultrasound looked fantastic and we have a good guess on the s*x of the foal 😉 Feel free to cast your vote and take a guess!

You've met our mare, Doras Berry Finest.
Now meet the foal's sire, Golden Coins:

GC caught my attention when he won the 2025 NRBC with two massive scores of 231.5 in the prelims and 227.5 in the finals. While impressive, the scores weren't what caught my attention, it was his movement. He is naturally balanced, maintaining correct cadence regardless of the speed. His self-carriage makes every move look easy. (Golden Coins came back to win the NRBC again in 2026). His type of movement and athleticism is truly the future of reining and will lend itself to versatility in many other disciplines.

I've had the pleasure of handling many young horses from his family line (Spooks Gotta Gun, Spooks Gotta Whiz, Spooks Gotta Spark) and the one thing they have is common is their intelligence and willing attitude. The stallions from that family have been of the easiest I've worked with.

Here's the fun part....
Kole Price has said that Golden Coins is his choice mount for the Run for a Million in August. They will be one of just fifteen horse and rider pairs competing for the first place purse of $500,000. It will be broadcast on CBS and via Livestream with Taylor Sheridan as the host! You can tune in and see how he moves for yourself. You know we will be cheering them on from our small farm here in North Carolina!

Foal watch starts in April ☺️

Perendale Flock Update:

If you follow us for the Wyandottes or Sebastopol geese, you may be surprised to see we have sheep. We breed a small flock of Perendales, a rare wool breed here in the US. They are an integral part of our pasture rotation system. They graze the pasture plant species that the horses and geese won't touch and provide wool for fiber artists and handspinners (including myself ☺️).

I'm thankful to say that all fleece have sold this year and went faster than I could get them off my skirting table! We got many of them into the hands of fiber artists that have never had a chance to touch a Perendale fleece. I'm really excited to see how their projects turn out!

It's also hard to believe, but it's nearly weaning time for this year's lamb crop. It's probably the best group of lambs that we've had yet. Last year's ram is passing on improved fleeces and good structure.

We will have the following available this year:
-Ram lambs twins, white, weaning age (pictured)
-Yearling ram, "Ewok". Excellent fleece. Very fine wool.
Any of them can be wethered by my vet prior to departure.

Time for the 2026 edition of "Did someone DIE?!" or "Did you molt?"...Where your chickens frequently give you heart attacks by leaving poofs of feathers around the yard.

Fortunately, no one died around here. The intense heat wave kicked the breeding flocks into an early molt. For those of you who are new to chickens, molting means they take a break from laying eggs while they shed their old feathers and regrow new ones.

And with that, hatching egg season is a wrap until further notice. Thank you to those of you who purchased and shipped eggs this season. We started many new Wyandotte flocks this year and I'm hoping to see some of those grow outs in the fall shows!

They are ranging out on pasture. Please allow me at least 24 before pickup so I can catch them when they come to roost at night.
