Shop Hatching Eggs

We’re pairing a Hickman Homestead rooster with hens from Evergreen and Hickman Homestead.

We plan to preserve multiple families of Lavender Birchen Marans to maintain genetic diversity, while introducing thoughtful outcrosses to Black Silver Birchen Marans to help maintain feather quality.

We’re breeding toward beautiful, bloomy pink eggs and birds that meet the Marans Standard of Perfection (SOP). We’re always working toward that standard, while recognizing that every flock is a work in progress.

These are breeding goals, not guarantees of the egg colors, speckling, or blooms that offspring will produce.

We’re pairing a rooster from Jillybeans Rainbow, who hatched from a large, “Dino”-speckled egg, with our Welsummer hens carrying Clutch of Color genetics. We’re breeding toward lighter brown egg backgrounds with large, bold speckles, with each egg showing its own pattern and personality.

Alongside egg color and speckling, we’re selecting for healthy, well-built birds and clear autosexing chick markings to help distinguish males and females at hatch. We’re always striving toward the breed’s Standard of Perfection (SOP), while recognizing that every flock is a work in progress.

A little prehistoric charm, right in the nesting box.

The Marans Standard of Perfection (SOP) is always our goal, while recognizing that every flock is a work in progress.

This one is going to be fun! Meet Legolas, our rooster who hatched from an egg with an exceptionally heavy bloom. We’re pairing him with some beautifully bloomy girls and other thoughtfully chosen hens as we explore fun egg colors and blooms.

In this mixed-breed project, we’re breeding toward colorful eggs and heavy, beautiful blooms, without a breed Standard of Perfection (SOP) goal. We can’t wait to see what the next generation brings to the egg basket.

We’re pairing a Welsummer rooster with Easter Egger, Olive Egger, and Silverrudd’s Blue hens, along with some of our pink-egg layers.

In this mixed-breed project, we’re breeding toward beautiful speckling across a varied egg-color palette. We’re excited to see the colors and patterns the next generation brings to the nesting boxes.

Led by Fenris, a descendant of Hollyoaks rooster Vale, our Wildflower Project celebrates beautiful plumage and the white-speckled blooms showing up in this family’s eggs.

We’re breeding toward white-speckled blooms and beautiful plumage, thoughtfully pairing Fenris with hens to explore a colorful variety of feather patterns. A little beauty for the egg basket—and the flock.

A little of everything from our nesting boxes! Our Storybook Rainbow Dozen is a mix of available hatching eggs from our Black Copper Marans, Lavender Birchen Marans, Welsummer, Silverrudd’s Blue, and Cloudbloom pens.

Across these pens, we’re breeding toward a beautiful variety of egg colors, speckles, and blooms. The assortment varies with availability and what our hens are laying. Each dozen may include a different mix of pens, egg colors, speckles, and blooms; eggs from every pen are not guaranteed in each dozen.
