I know there are several new breeders I sold birds/eggs to this year who were unable to purchase an APA Standard of Perfection because they were sold out. The new edition is now out, you can purchase one here:

Effective immediately, I will only accept payment for birds prior to transferring them to one's crate or cage. Once they are in your kennel/cage, they pose a biosecurity risk to me. I cannot take them back. I do not want people touching or holding birds before purchasing. Once they are your birds, you can do whatever you want with them, but they're not yours until payment has been made. I will now make any prospective buyers visually inspect the birds while still in my truck (without touching them) and pay before a transfer is made.

Up and Comer Light Cockerel

06/28/2025

I have a pathologically broody Light who was broody for months. I never gave her chicks but her need to be a mom was so great she has adopted all of the growouts which are quite old. I''ve never had a hen declare herself mother over such a large cohort. They are so old they mostly dont listen to her when she does the broody clucking. They are like, "Yeah, yeah old lady, you're our mom, whatever, where's the food."

I have two lovely Easter Egger pullets available locally, 8 weeks must go as a pair because they are buddies. One is a rare silver wheaten throwback from my Light Ameraucana project, the other is a silver that has green legs. Both are friendly sweet birds that will lay blue eggs. Message me for info.

I have several breeding trios available in splash and silver. These are birds I bred from this year. Clearing them out for a whole lot of growouts.

Recently, I have seen quite a few people post in chicken forums that they're using AI to learn about chickens. Let me tell you why this is a horrible way to learn. The chicken community has always been one plagued by misinformation. Experienced chicken keepers with expert knowledge, especially information about breeds, have always had to assume the role of educator. "Setting the record straight" has always been a big part of what we do. In fact, the chicken community is so plagued with misinformation, that it's almost a rite of passage when you get chickens to go through a series of misconceptions and wrong information replacing bad with good. Half the information on the internet about chickens is wrong. They are articles written by new chicken keepers or worse yet, content writers that don't even have chickens! AI cannot tell good info from the bad. It sweeps up everything. The Wikipedia page for Ameraucanas has been inaccurate for years, and the editor of the page guards the content and won't let anybody else edit it. AI sees this as definitive proof that this page is "authoritative" and grabs that info for its summary. When it comes to chickens, if you want to know about breeds, only consult the American Poultry Association, the American Bantam Association and respective member breed clubs. Any other breed information scraped off the internet should be treated with great distrust. Likewise, social media should be viewed with great skepticism, especially backyard or region specific groups. I have seen quite a few posts where people said, "ChatGPT told me this" or "I asked Google Gemini and it told me this." Everything you get scraped off the internet from either of these tools is going to give you a garbage casserole with a mix of truth and trash. It's not even a good starting point. Maybe there are subjects less plagued with misinformation where these tools are useful for learning, but chickens is not it!

Blue growout.

Some Light growouts enjoying watermelon.

I named this bird Trip. Never seen a splash color out like this before. The comb is highly suggestive of a cockerel.

I have worked my way through the silver hatching egg list and have some available. Please message me. If there is somebody who accidentally did not get added to the list who I accidentally missed, they will get precedence. It is starting to get warm out and I won't be shipping out hatching eggs much longer.
