Meet The Flock – The Mayor
The Mayor earned her name when she was just a few days old. Being one of the early hatchers of the bunch, she was moved from the incubator to the brooder a couple days before most of her siblings. She quickly became the leader of the brooder, and any time we opened it, would run out to investigate what the commotion was all about, leading us to dubbing her “The Mayor”. Whenever new chicks were added, she would immediately take those new additions under her wing- showing them where the food and water were, and making sure to wrangle up any little peeps that strayed too far from the heat for too long.
Meet The Flock – Martha Marans
Martha is our Cuckoo Marans, and without a doubt, her favorite time of day is snack time. She could be out foraging anywhere on the farm, but has a sixth sense to know when we come outside with food, and will magically appear first…
Meet The Flock – PeepPeep
PeepPeep is, by just a couple of days, the youngest member of our original Light Brahma flock. She was a tiny yellow fluffball that would run around the brooder, happily chirping a double peep whenever anything exciting (so basically anything) happened. Once she started…
Meet The Flock – Loudmouth
Loudmouth earned his name while he was still in the egg. Being half Light Brahma and half Barred Rock, Loudmouth is a tall, broad-chested, and handsome hunk, and picking him up is like lifting a feathered bowling ball. He’s very laid back and doesn’t even object to the occasional cuddles and snuggles.
Meet The Flock – Toes
Toes, along with his brothers Parrot and Heddie, joined our flock in February of this year as a tiny hatchling. Ever since he was a baby, Toes’ unique look has been apparent- combining traits of his Leghorn mom and Frizzle Silkie dad. He’s white,…
Meet The Flock – Bella
Bella is everything that you’d picture a Brahma to be- plump, fluffy, and friendly. She’s one of our OG Light Brahma flock, and along with Sniper, is one of the the first to come charging over whenever we come outside (for no reason other…
Meet The Flock – Dolores
Dolores is our Crested Cream Legbar, she sports a fantastic hairdo and a relatively large and forward facing comb, giving her the impression of having a perpetually questioning expression. She’s on the smaller side, with an extra fluffy undercarriage and short legs, which causes…
Meet The Flock – Lilly & Daisy
Lilly and Daisy were the police of the flock when together, but after losing her sister, Lilly developed a new personality. Lilly is a plump Silver Laced Wyandotte, whose round physique shows how much she loves to spend the day foraging for whatever bugs…
Meet The Flock – The Looneybins
The five guineafowl in our flock are, more often that not, collectively known as “The Looneybins”. It’s not that we can’t tell them apart- there are two pearl, three pied, a female of both, and they all have unique markings- it’s more being able…
Meet The Flock – Loretta
Loretta is our newest of the “big ladies”, joining us on October 4th 2022. She was named in tribute to Loretta Lynn who had unfortunately left this world that morning. An Olive Egger, Loretta reliably provides a splash of color to our egg basket,…
