Ermine Ameraucanas are lovely blue-egg layers and are frequently the most social and affectionate of our hatchlings. And who can resist their cute muffs and beards?
Ermine Ameraucanas are a new breed, recently recognized by the American Poultry Association (APA) and every decent Ermine Ameraucana flock-keeper is working towards meeting the Standard of Perfection (SOP) by carefully selecting chicks and grow-outs for the breeding pens. Learn more about that here: How Hard Can it Be?
One-hundred percent of my flock comes from hatching eggs sent from Becky Pelton, the woman that created the breed. The eggs are hard to come by; one round was requested in October of 2024 and arrived in April of 2026.
I do want to make sure you know that Ameraucanas are prone to crossbeak more than other breeds. One in a hundred Ameraucana chicks is likely to develop cross-beak aka scissorbeak and will need to be fed wet food and have regular beak trims. The defect shows up when the chicks are between 3 and 14 days old.

Swedish Flower Hens evolved naturally in Sweden, living off the land without human influence: a landrace.
Skånsk Blommehöna aka Swedish Flower Hens lay cream-colored eggs and are good foragers, good predator avoiders, and oh so pretty. They come crested and uncrested and hailing from snowy Sweden, they are unfazed by our rainy PNW winters.
They will lay for 8 or 9 years and their eggs are a pretty pale peach color.
Someone recently asked me why, specifically, I love them so.
How do I love them? Let me count the ways.
1) I love the visual diversity of the flock.
2) I love the endless delicate coloring variations of the chicks.
3) I love that they are predator-savvy. The roosters are always the first to call alert and even the SFH babies in the brooders respond, whilst the other chickies bumble about obliviously.
4) I love that, if I raise them together, two roosters will peacefully share a flock -- this can happen with other breeds, yes -- but it is consistent with the Swedes.
5) I love that they originate from Sweden as did my forebears. My great-grandfather was a child coal miner in Sweden prior to emigrating to the US at 23.
6) I love that they are easy-keepers. Lice and mice, intestinal worms, bumble-foot etc. are rarely found in my Swedish Flower Hen coop.

A Wheaten Olive Egger is a hybrid of Wheaten/Blue Wheaten/Splash Ameraucanas and Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Marans who will lay lovely medium to large olive eggs, often with speckles. The birds are lovely and sweet, and can have with muffs, or beards, or feathery legs, or all three!
Expect the hens to be creamy gold and the roosters to have blue and black trim, much like their Maran and Ameraucana counterparts.
These are F1 & F2 Olive Eggers; you can learn more about Olive Egger genetics here.
I occasionally have some a little older available, three weeks or more, and you will find them listed as Started Straight-Run (unsexed) or Started Pullet (girl) or Started Cockerel (boy).

So fluffy! So gorgeous. These gentle birds are winter-hardy and faithful layers of brown eggs. Jubilee Orpingtons are my most sought-after breeds with folks driving from Montana and Wyoming to pick them up.

Ameraucanas (an actual breed) are not to be confused with Easter Eggers (a mix of breeds). Ameraucanas lay blue eggs in the most gorgeous shades and are a variation on the Araucana from Chile. They have the most adorable muffs and beards and are usually friendly sweet little birds.
These have gorgeous gold feathering and a soft blue-grey underfluff.

Well this is fun!! Addie Offereins interviewed us for her article, Are backyard chickens still booming? published in the July 16th edition of WORLD magazine.
Did you know that a good rooster is a huge blessing for your flock? A good rooster will keep the peace amongst the ladies, find and share nummie things to eat, and not only escort the ladies to the nesting boxes, but guard them whilst they lay, and sing their praises when they finish. But most importantly, he is constantly scanning for danger and will give up his life to protect his hens from harm.
Dr. Robin’s final bit of advice to me was to “Tell everyone that whenever you get chicks, pullets or even older birds, the virus can be there. It is basically everywhere. Expect losses, no matter what.”
We tried so many things on our chicken coop floors, switching it up every year or so, until we got our hands on some Hemp Bedding back in 2023. Game Changed!
ISA Browns are sweet, sturdy, and pretty layers of many medium and large brown eggs. Sexed at hatch as females are brown and males are white. Friendly and sociable, these are my go-to birds if I just want eggs, lots and lots of eggs.

One of my chick customers sent me this video recently, asking about the squishy ball on her babies’ throats.
Four questions that I think should be asked of any chick seller.
Are the chicks hatched on-site?
Are the hatching eggs from your hens?
How old are the hens that laid the eggs from which the chicks hatched?
What is your health guarantee?
