Our first delivery along I25 was a success!

6/15/2020

0 Comments

As many of you probably know we are now offering delivery along I25, from southern Colorado all the way up into Wyoming.
This past weekend was our first delivery and I think it went pretty well. We has about 15 deliveries and somehow, the traffic cooperated and all of our customers were on time, which allowed us to be on time for every delivery. We don't expect it to go this smoothly but are grateful it did! As of now, we are still planning on offering deliveries!

Thank you to all of our customers and for your patience with us.

Who doesn't like to see baby chick pictures!

Chickens, especially newly hatched chicks that just want to run around and explore...or sleep.... are not always all that easy to get good pictures of! I think my Mom did a pretty good job, especially considering she did it all alone.
We currently have limited availability, despite our farm page saying we are sold out!

New "Chickie" Barn and new baby chicks :-)

5/13/2020

MANY, MANY more pictures to come!!

Happy, healthy, hungry chicks!

Our chicks spend their first few weeks in a commercial brooder. This provides a consistent temperature in a draft free environment that helps get the chicks off to a good start.

That's a "Chickie Nursery" ?!?!?

Their house isn’t even complete yet but my Dad is busting his butt to build our new “Chickie Nursery”….among many other projects! Did I happen to mention he is 70!!!!
In addition to our commercial brooder, our nursery is insulated and has plenty of room for future transition pens. Once the chicks start are a few weeks old, they will be moved into larger pens that allow them space to run around and start testing out their wings but yet still provide a warm and secure environment. Once they are starting to feather out nicely, they will be able to spend time outdoors, before going to their new homes!!

Lizzie's Loose Ladies Liquidation Sale

1/29/2019

0 Comments

My daughter Lizzie (3 1/2) has established quite the little egg business! Unfortunately, due to an upcoming medical procedure I will not be able to help her care for her ladies for a few months. We are downsizing her flock of nearly 60 ladies to just a handful. All of the $$ for the sale of her Ladies will be going to Lizzies “business” account so that she can rebuild her flock when the time comes.
We will be “delivering” her Ladies to their new homes all along I25. From as far north as Fort Collins all the way down to southern Colorado. We have not set a date yet but it will likely be in the next week or so.
Most of the ladies were hatched in October or November of 2017.
They are all being sold as “Barnyard Mix” but they could be any of the breeds listed below or a mix of any of the breeds!
Light Brahma, Black Australorp, Buff Orpington, Easter Egger, Olive Egger, Welsummer, Wyandotte, Rhode Island Red, Production Red, Dominique and Barred Rock.
The ladies went through molt in November and December and most of them are just starting to lay again. Up until November we were getting about 35-40 eggs a day. All shades of brown, light blue, green, olive and pink….no white eggs.
If you are interested, please send me a PM and we can work out the details
