Our farm focuses on breeding Silver Wyandotte chickens.

This was the first breed we incubated and fell in love with. An interesting fact: when our first chick hatched, we happened to be wearing a blue nurse outfit. Ever since then, she has been drawn to the color blue!

Wyandottes are very sweet, incredibly friendly, and get along well with any flock. They’re also super confident. If you’re looking to add some eye candy to your small flock, this is definitely the breed for you!
