Our Birds

The Silkie is a breed of chicken named for its atypically fluffy plumage, which is said to feel like silk and satin. The breed has several other unusual qualities, such as black skin and bones, blue earlobes, and five toes on each foot, whereas most chickens only have four. Silkies are also known for their calm, friendly temperament, which makes them exceptionally great pets for homes that have children. In fact, silkies can be quite affectionate if owners take the time to handle them often. 

Sapphire Gems are very friendly and well-mannered. You can expect them to generally be very calm (even when under stress). Due to their friendly temperament they tend to get along well with other breeds in the flock. This also means that they will make the perfect addition to a family with young children and pets.

Sapphire Gem chickens are a cross between hybrid and heritage chickens. It's thought to be Barred Plymouth Rocks (hybrid) cross-bred with Blue Plymouth Rocks (heritage). They originated from the Czech Republic.

Lavender Orpingtons are a shimmering, grayish, silver color with a definite purple tone. Orpington Chickens, in general, are big, round, fluffy chickens and could arguably be the softest of all the breeds. Combine that soft fluffiness with a shimmering lavender-gray color, and Lavender Orpingtons are chickens to behold!

Lavender Orpingtons have pretty, single red combs, which are set off beautifully against the lavender feathering, which is usually a bit darker on the head. These would look especially striking combined with Buff Orpingtons - creating a flock of silver and gold big fluffy birds.
Lavender Orpingtons have lots of feathers - the fluffiness makes them seem to have extra feathers, especially on the thighs. They are cold hardy and sound chickens.
