Which autosexing breed is right for your farm?
We will be offering three autosexing breeds for 2023 to allow us to offer sexed day-olds locally of high production and dual purpose breeds.
Easter Eggers
Easter Eggers are fun crosses of our purebreds paired with first generation crosses. We are now offering a pale pink hue egg for the first time. Each egg you receive has the potential to hatch a pullet that will in turn lay an egg of different color.
Olive Eggers
Our Olive Eggers are a mix of several breeds for a wide variety of plumage colors, patterns and egg shades curated for the backyard hobbyist flock.
Autosexing Olive Eggers: Golden Bielefelder x Cream Crested Legbar Olive Egger
Many offspring produced from Cream Crested Legbar imported to the US in 2010 developed warm tones in their feathering setting them apart from the imported pastel and gray toned Cream birds. These Legbar were established as a US variety, Golden Crele Legbar. They are currently housed with the Cream, offering a 50/50 chance of variety color. They retain their autosexing and colorful eggs, just look different than their Cream cousins.
55 Flowery Hen
The gorgeous 55 Flowery Hen have marking similar to Speckled Sussex, boast jumbo pure white eggs, excellent feed conversion, a calm personality, and are more friendly than the Legbar.
