We currently raise several egg laying breeds including Americauna, Buckeyes, Dominiques, Salmon Faverelles and Cuckoo Marans. We have two Americauna roosters. Our chickens are free to roam the pastures within fenced-in boundaries. Half the flock is in the pasture with the sheep and the other half has their own pasture with the guinea hens. We currently have two coops with an expansion planned this spring, and we added nesting boxes to the sheep shed since the chickens like to hang out with the sheep.
We sell our eggs at the farmer's markets, to individuals and to local restaurants. They are highly sought after by chefs, especially for baking. Our chickens lay eggs year-round and the guineas lay eggs in the summer. We use no antibiotics or other chemicals in their feed. The chickens eat freely in the pastures plus we feed them veggie scraps, layer mash and scratch mix.
