Our nice little flock has expanded greatly in 2011, thanks a great deal to our Silkie hens.  They are amazingly broody & fantastic mothers.  We have 21 Silkies (more than half of which are for sale at this time) and a good flock of barn yard cross chickens, most of which have Ameracauna lineage. Most of these will be for the table, with a few kept for eggs.  In 2012 we will be bringing in Salmon Faverolles and from that point on we will raise only Silkies & Faverolles.

2011 also brought 2 pairs of Pilgrim geese (Feathers & Bones, Diamond & Stone) and in July we were given 2 Pekin ducks.  We are eagerly awaiting the maturation of the geese, they are a critically endangered American breed & we’d love to establish a healthy flock here in the mid-west.
