Columbian Rocks

A large dual purpose breed, white with nice black lacing around their necks and black wing and tail feather tips. We have three different bloodlines that we have been working to improve to quality while maintaining good egg production for many years. They include Laval lines which are hard to find from anyone else in Western Canada. 

 They lay extra large brown eggs and are winter hardy. Hens lay 300+ eggs a year for years. Extra roosters finish well on grass with flavorful meat at 6-7lbs. As a very smart bird, they are great foragers for free ranging. They work well in multi-breed flocks but will be the boss of the hen house.

Chicks start at $10 each at one week old. Discounts for over 10. Chicks are normally available from March to June. Sometimes we will have sexed pullets at 6-8 weeks old.  Hatching eggs are available for $30/doz or $2.50 an egg. Breeding and meat roosters are also available. No hens are available.

We have Blue/Black/Splash Ameraucanas. Our line combines genetics from AB, SK, and MB. These are beautiful bearded birds of medium size. The Black colouration has a strong iridescence. Splash are a mixture of white to black with grey feathering and a crowd favourite at exhibitions. 

The Ameraucana is one of the few chicken breeds to lay blue eggs and should not be confused with cross breeds often referred to as “Easter Eggers” with varying degrees of egg pigment and plumage. They are consistent layers of medium to large sized eggs. Hens lay 250+ eggs a year for years. Roosters are often used to create "rainbow cartons" as they carry the blue gene. While they do well in mixed flocks, they are independent and like to hang out with their own breed (so you need at least three!).

 Chicks are sold straight run (unsexed) and start at $15 each at one week old.  Discounts for over 10. Chicks are normally available from March to June. Hatching eggs are available for $60/doz or $5 an egg. Breeding and meat roosters are also available. No hens are available.

We have Black Copper Marans from one local line covered by a rooster from Ontario. There are both the classic French line (feathered feet) and American line (non feathered feet). They are a quiet and gentle bird that are great freerangers and in a mixed flock.

BCM are prized for their very dark brown eggs (centre). Hens lay 200+ eggs a year. At the beginning of their cycle, their eggs will be the darkest. The colour lightens until they moult. Roosters are often used to create "rainbow cartons" for olive eggers.

  Chicks are sold straight run (unsexed) and start at $15 each at one week old.  Discounts for over 10. Chicks are normally available from March to June. Hatching eggs are available in very limited quantities for $60 a doz or $5 an egg. Breeding and meat roosters are also available. No hens are available.

Welsummers are a Dutch breed. Our line is from BC. They are active and have a docile temperament. Welsummers do well in a mixed flock. The breed is most known for the colour of the eggs.

Hens lay about 200 dark brown speckled eggs a year. To complete your rainbow carton, you need this breed!

Dominiques were used to create the Plymouth Rock chicken. They are actually the chicken recognized as being the first in America. They are curious and friendly, good free rangers and foragers. They are also great for Alberta, being cold hardy with their rose combs.

This is a landrace breed from southern Sweden. They are active and good free rangers.

They can be crested or non crested.

We currently have Royal Palm Turkeys. They are medium to small sized attractive turkey. They are white with black edging on their feathers. Active and friendly, they are unlike many other breeds of turkeys. They are fairly good fliers and good foragers. 

Royal Palms aren't a commercial breed of turkey, but are excellent for small farms as pets (like Walmart greeters!) or slow growing meat. Each bird has it's own personality and make a great addition to farms with children. They are inconsistent layers but when they do lay, hens can go broody and raise their own young. The eggs have high fat content and are good for baking.

Poults are sold straight run (unsexed) and start at $20 each at one week old. Poults are normally available from April to June. Hatching eggs are available at $60 a dozen/ $5 an egg. No adults are available of either sex.
