Well bred flocks of chickens are a cherished part of North American farming history. Up until about 1950, these were the fowl that fed families while bringing color and delight to the farmyard. But the old breeds represent far more than a sentimental reminder of simpler times. They are still the ideal choice for the modern homesteader whose primary goal is home-grown meat and fresh, nutritious eggs. The other priceless benefit is self-sufficiency, meaning the freedom to maintain flocks by producing replacement chickens of consistent quality.
Since my goal is to continually improve my flocks I don't operate as a commercial business or hatchery. I don't sell hatching eggs or chicks, but breeding stock is occasionally available.

Exciting News From My Coop!
For nearly 20 years, the art and craft of breeding poultry for conservation and exhibition has been a rewarding and challenging pursuit of mine. Recently, that passion has taken me in a slightly new direction…writing! I'm thrilled to announce the upcoming release of my new book called Feathers on the Frontier. This book explores the rich history of poultry keeping on the Canadian prairies. It's been a joy to research and write, and I hope it brings enjoyment and inspiration to my fellow chicken enthusiasts! Find out more here:
