Meet the Flock

Black Copper Marans

The "chocolate eggers." Striking birds, calm temperament, and the darkest eggs in the basket.

Olive Eggers

Our color specialists — laying olive green plus pink, lavender, and gray. A basket that doesn't look real until you're holding it.

Silkie Seramas

The tiny showstoppers. All the fluff and personality of a Silkie in the smallest size in the flock.

A note on transparency: our birds are not NPIP-certified and we don't ship. We're a small backyard breeding flock raised with a lot of care, not a commercial hatchery. Everything is local pickup in Oak Hills, CA.
