***HIGHLIGHTS - D'UCCLE PULLETS AND CHICKS FOR SALE, BANTAM BARRED ROCK AND GOLD LACED PULLETS***
NOTE: we can ship hatching eggs, but we do not ship chicks. In certain cases, we can ship adult birds, but we prefer to keep our birds out of the postal system. We are willing to hold birds with pre-payment if you are travelling through this area at a specific time!

Whats new around the farm?
Well it's been soooo hot, but we are having a lovely cool week after some much needed rain. Chicks are popping out all over the place, even a little blue showgirl! Yesterday we had an exciting morning - absentminded me left a latch open, and some three weeks old took advantage of the opportunity and escaped into the yard! I found them hiding in the grass under the fig tree, and they were NOT in the mood to return. Three people, two butterfly nets, and 20 minutes later, the intrepid adventurers were safely returned to their coop, while a disappointed barncat prowled around meowing. Would Dinah eat chicks? I don't know, and I definitely do not want to find out! Here's Dinah's favorite place - sunning on the back porch!

We also had some lovely visitors in our flowers this week!


We hope everyone is having a lovely summer!

Want a rooster? Contact us and talk - we love to find homes for our boys, but we do need to be very careful, as we do not wish to unknowingly contribute them to the cock or pit fighting community. Show us a good home and we'll show you a great rooster!

We will also be offering some natural beeswax candles from our wax! We'd love to hear back from you - do you have a shape/size you prefer? Here is one of our candles - a 1/5 inch skep candle ($5)!
