Country Living on Nacho Acres

Country Living on Nacho Acres Small hobby farm on 36 acres in Rosendale, WI. Orchard growing, community glowing. Eating Eggs:
Our free-range flock eggs are sold on-site only.
(1)

We offer eating eggs, Ermine Ameraucana hatching eggs, live chickens, handmade crafts, private dog trail rentals, and a weekly peek at our trail cam pics. Our eggs are $5 per dozen or $7.50 per 18 pack. All eggs are washed and include the date packaged and when they should be best by. We sell eggs year-round, on a subscription only basis. Hatching Egg Purchasing Terms:
Spring-Fall, we offer Ermine

Ameraucana hatching eggs.
- Hatching eggs are pickup only at Nacho Acres in Rosendale, WI.
- Eggs are collected multiple times daily and stored properly for optimal hatch rates.
- We cannot guarantee hatch rates due to variables outside our control (incubators, temperature swings, handling after pickup, etc.).
- All eggs are labeled by date
- Project lines (like Ermine Ameraucana) may produce variation — this is part of the fun and the genetics.
- Once eggs leave Nacho Acres, buyers are responsible for proper storage, handling, and incubation.
- Please plan pickup times carefully to avoid temperature extremes.
- Payment is due at pickup unless otherwise arranged.
- Unclaimed orders may be offered to the next person on the list. Live Chickens:
Throughout the year as availability allows, we have live chickens for sale. Pricing is as follows for basic breeds:
Hens 3 years+ or Roosters - $5 ea
Hens 2 years - $10 ea
Hens 1 year - $15 ea
Pullets (Point of lay - less than 1 year) - $20 ea
Pullets (Less than 20 weeks) - $6 + $1 for every week old
Straight Run (Un-Sexed) Baby Chicks - $5 ea
Specialty Breeds will increase the above pricing. By purchasing live chickens from us, you agree to the "Live Chicken Purchasing Terms" below. Live Chicken Purchasing Terms:
Any known prior health issues (missing feathers, curled toes, etc) will be shared upon sale announcement. The buyer has every opportunity to inspect the chicken before loading it into their cage/vehicle. After the chickens leave our premises, they are no longer our responsibility and are solely that of the new buyer. We make no health or egg laying quantity or color guarantees but are always available for questions after purchase. All sales are final. For chicks, all of the above applies and additionally: we assume buyer has done all research on necessary chick care (brooders, electrolytes, etc) and offer no health or gender guarantee on chicks as well. Dog Trail:
Our maintained dog trail takes you along the growing orchard, through the woods and around our marsh. We are not asking a specific fee per hour: It will be pay what you can per visit to help cover the cost of equipment wear and gas to maintain the trails. We ask you please pick up after yourselves and animals so that doesn't become an additional task for us. A garbage bin will be provided at the entrance/exit. For safety, no appointments will be allowed during the 9-day gun deer hunt. We do not allow hunting on our property, but a landowner next to us does. Property marking poles are present and a virtual map is provided to participants. Crafts:
There is a home-made crafts' shop on-site. Shopping available by appointment only, unless we have an occasional open house/sale. Cash, PayPal, or Venmo accepted

We bought from a couple local breeders this year, and it was a reminder of why our standards are what they are — and why we eventually shifted to pricier, riskier shipped eggs. Every rough experience becomes a checkpoint for improving our own process.

One breeder sold $100/dozen eggs, then admitted fertility issues after pickup — we saw 3/13 and 2/12 development.
Another sold two dozen with eight cracked, told us to “just wax them,” and we ended up with 17/24 development, wrong feather colors, and no testing.

Both leaned on “hatching eggs are a gamble” to excuse skipping basics, so we stopped buying local for the season.

Nationwide sellers weren’t perfect either — vague waitlists with deposits, higher prices, slow replies, missing payment confirmations, and one shipment with environmental odors (like smoke) that can transfer through porous shells. Full shipped‑egg breakdown coming once all hatches finish.

We’ve heard plenty of similar local stories: “purebred” eggs hatching as mixes, or “straight run” chicks that somehow turn out 90% male from breeders who can s*x them.

This isn’t about calling anyone out. If someone wants to know whether we’ve bought from a specific seller, we’ll answer privately.

It’s about why our standards matter:
Fertility testing — manual checks + test hatches
Transparency — no guessing
Crack checks — every egg inspected
Record tracking — lines, colors, data
Fast responses — usually within an hour

Biology has the final say — but we make sure we’ve done our part before an egg ever leaves our farm.

🥚 Eating‑Egg Subscriptions — Openings Available

We sell by subscription only - $5/dozen. If we have extras, they go to subscribers or previous supporters — we never have public availability or a stand.

🐓 How Subscriptions Work

Quantity + frequency — You choose what you need (weekly, biweekly, or monthly). We size the flock around subscriber numbers to keep eggs steady year‑round.

Self‑serve pickups — Simple and flexible. Located southeast of Rosendale - exact address is provided during subscription set-up.

No contracts — Adjust or cancel anytime; just communicate (a quick “won’t need eggs this week”). Unclaimed orders past one week automatically end the subscription.

Quality first — Every egg is washed, candled, and weighed. Nothing under 57g goes into regular cartons; most land 60g+.

We expect very few openings this summer, and we pause additional subscriptions after August 1 so we’re not onboarding winter‑only subscribers during the seasonal slow‑down.

Need steady, year‑round eggs? Message us to claim your spot!

🐔Cluck n’ Tell Tuesday
We cluck 6 days a week. Tuesdays it's your turn.

What's a money saving tip you have.

For Heather, it’s this one:
Using store apps — and knowing you can stack a store coupon with a manufacturer coupon for double the savings. Sometimes even add cashback offers for triple savings.

How to gender Ameraucanas:
Step 1 — wait until they lay an egg or crow.

But seriously… Ameraucanas are hands‑down the hardest breed we’ve ever tried to gender - and we know we're not alone - right?!

Most of our hybrid or heritage chicks? We can usually tell by three weeks. Ameraucanas? We were still squinting at combs and feather patterns at three months. And even then, a couple still earned a green “we’re not totally sure yet” leg band.

A quick note: We've had a lot of interest in Ermine pullets. We don't have any currently available. If that changes, we’ll post them here. Due to low follow through, we no longer keep waitlists. Reminder: they will start at $50 each depending on exact age.

Well, it’s happened again.
Heather landed in the ER with severe abdominal pain and dehydration — turns out it was Campylobacter. This bacterium is commonly linked to handling poultry. You’ve probably seen the recent warnings about Salmonella and the “don’t cuddle your chickens” reminders (we agree… they’re so germy). Campylobacter is a similar threat.

Heather’s gotten it three times over the years just from caring for chickens, and this rounds hitting a lot harder. The worst part? It can drag on for weeks. The best part? Everyone's still getting their eggs and messages returned on time.

So, do you really build immunity working in dirt, poo, and grime every day? Heather’s recent adventure says no. But one thing’s for sure — it reinforces why we’re so a**l (pun intended) about not selling unwashed eating eggs. Those germs are everywhere.

It’s kinda like the “don’t eat” warning on Tide Pods — you laugh, you think it’s absurd, but something happened along the way that put that into place.

06/13/2026

Our 4th and final shipped‑to‑us hatching egg unboxing — Kentucky → Wisconsin. And let’s just say… things could've gotten a little messy this round.

06/11/2026

Join us for another unboxing — this time all the way from South Carolina to Wisconsin. And… let’s just say this one didn’t go quite as smoothly as the others.
