- Once eggs leave Nacho Acres, buyers are responsible for proper storage, handling, and incubation.

- Payment is due at pickup unless otherwise arranged.

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. 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.

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.

Porch Pumpkin Stand is Open!

After two years of failed pumpkin patch attempts, we finally cracked the code — and ended up with more pumpkins than even the chickens can keep up with. These were organically grown in our composted soil with no sprays or chemicals.

Decorative pumpkins are out at the garage and porch, priced $1–$5 depending on size. Payment box and info are on the porch (Cash, PayPal, Venmo).

Caution: Some stems have spikes — please lift pumpkins from the bottom.
This is the only inventory we anticipate having, as the rest will be going to our chickens as a healthy treat just like we originally planned.

No appointment needed for pumpkins. If you’d also like eating eggs, just give us a general time frame so we can set some in the porch cooler.

📍Rosendale. PM for the address if needed.

A peaceful turkey parade turned into a quick lesson in farm life when a low‑flying crop duster passed overhead. It’s treating neighboring fields — not ours. We keep our fruit trees and pumpkins completely chemical‑free to support healthier soil, cleaner runoff, and better wildlife habitat.

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

How early does memory actually stick: What’s the earliest life moment your brain decided was worth keeping?

Heather’s earliest memory is a very brief moment from about 2 years old — swimsuit on, excitement high, ready for the family pool… until the phone rang. Too young to swim alone, she had to wait while her mom took a call. Ten minutes later, THIS was the result: a tiny, furious toddler meltdown immortalized in a photo instead of a pool trip. That dramatic little snapshot was the last thing her brain saved until kindergarten. Turns out some moments are so intense they get permanently filed, even when you’re barely two.

Now your turn. What’s the first memory your mind bothered to save?

🐣 Hatching From Pullet Eggs — The Debate

There’s mixed information about what qualifies as a pullet egg. Some people think they’re simply small eggs. Others consider them any eggs from a hen under one year old. What actually matters for hatching is egg maturity, not the hen’s exact age.

All of our chicks and hatching eggs before June this year came from hens under a year old, and we’ve had zero reported health issues. The white eggs in our incubator right now? All from 6‑month‑old pullets, and they’re progressing beautifully. The difference comes from how the eggs are selected.

We do not use or sell:
Eggs from the first month a pullet starts laying — she’s still getting her bearings.
Eggs under 50 grams — that’s where we believe most issues arise.

Once a pullet is past that adjustment period and laying mature, well‑formed eggs, her fertility and hatch quality are excellent.

Growing Orchard Update
50+ new fruit trees and all we got is this one apple.

We kid — this is normal. Young orchard trees (apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, cherries) spend their first few years building roots and structure, not pumping out fruit. Most varieties don’t give real harvests until year 3–5, sometimes a bit longer. So one apple is exactly what early‑stage trees do.

Appreciation post
The chicken world can be brutal, but every so often you’re reminded there are genuinely good people in it. After sharing our awful shipped‑to‑us egg results this year — including a 0% hatch — one breeder, Alicia, we’d purchased from offered replacement eggs if we covered shipping, then went a step further and offered to ship chicks instead.

This was arranged weeks before our unexpected dog expenses, and even without a down payment we weren’t about to ghost her as we know the frustration that causes. We covered shipping and a few chicks from her nearly full hatch, and genuinely appreciate her kindness — especially since this is by far the most expensive breed we’ve taken on.

All 11 arrived healthy and alert, just like every shipped‑chick order we’ve had over the last five years. Shipped eggs, though? They show up shaken, rattled, and rolled with disastrous results. At this point, we'll stick with shipped chicks.

Did That Really Happen?
Behind the scenes, we run into moments that make us pause. Every now and then, we share one — not to shame anyone, but to turn it into a teachable moment.

When you know chicken people, you hear things. Like the time someone tried to return to a week‑old chick because it hadn’t laid an egg after being home for seven days.

Yes. A week old. Bought as a day‑old chick.

And yes — it really happened. Not to us, thankfully, but locally during the 2025 great chick buyout when everyone rushed to get chickens during the egg shortage.

For the record: pullets/hens don’t lay until at least 4 months old, and many breeds take longer. That's also why older pullets cost more. Several months of time and money have gone into their housing and feed to raise them to the age they start to lay.

Chicken keeping comes with surprises. Some are cute. Some are chaotic. And some make for excellent educational moments.
