Hi! I’m Hannah, a local high school Senior selling layer hens that are currently laying! I’ve done all the hard work for you of raising them from chicks to layer hens. These (some now laying!) hens have been pasture raised and fed a local grain mill ration of no corn/no soy feed.
Meet the flock: free-ranging, sunshine-soaked, bug-hunting hens that produce yolks so vibrantly orange that look like a drop of sunshine. These ladies have lived the good life: pecking at fresh grass, scratching in open pasture, and growing up healthy, hand-raised, and friendly.
Choose your hens from these 4 breeds currently ready to transition from my coop to yours:
The Black Stars -- Hens are primarily black with gold or copper flecking on the neck and breast.
>Egg Production- Great layers, producing 250–300 large to extra-large brown eggs per year, often starting as early as 18–20 weeks.
>Temperament- Docile, friendly, and quiet, making them excellent for backyard flocks and families with children.
>Hardiness- Cold and heat tolerant, adaptable to confinement or free-range, and have good foraging instincts. The beautiful black hen has a shimmery, emerald-green sheen and loves the water.
The Barred Rocks -- Also known as Barred Plymouth Rocks, this is a popular American heritage breed known for being hardy, dual-purpose (meat and eggs), and having distinctive black and white barred plumage.
>Egg Production- large brown eggs
>Temperament- Don’t like to be held much, but love a scratch under the beak.
>Hardiness- Cold-hardy, docile.
Red stars -- Hens have reddish-brown feathers with white flecks. A dual-purpose bird, with hens weighing ~6 lbs suitable for both eggs and meat.
>Egg Production- Exceptional layers, producing 280–360 large brown eggs annually, often starting as early as 18–20 weeks.
>Temperament: Known for being docile and friendly.
>Hardiness- Tolerating both hot and cold climates well.
Black Australorp -- While primarily kept for eggs, they are also suitable for meat.
>Egg Production- Great layers, producing 200–300 large, light brown eggs annually, often continuing through winter.
>Temperament- Gentle, friendly, and quiet, they are excellent for beginners, families, and 4-H projects. They tolerate confinement well, but thrive when free-ranging.
>Hardiness- Cold-hardy and disease-resistant but have poor heat tolerance due to their dark feathers, requiring shade and water in summer. They are not very likely to go broody.
