Our farm focuses on breeding White, Black, and Pumpkin Pavlovskaya chickens.

This adorable and historically fascinating breed stole our hearts immediately. When we hatched them in our incubator, we couldn’t believe how unique these little creatures were—with their feathered legs and toes, muffed heads, and beards!

Afterward, we began researching more and more about them, and each discovery left us even more amazed. The history of this breed and how it managed to survive through all of life’s twists and turns (some argue it didn’t) is truly captivating.

As they grew, we admired their beauty even more. The flock feels like a bustling bazaar, full of colors and sounds that bring life to the yard.

This is one of the breeds we are truly proud to have and care for on our farm.
