The business branding on our truck came out so great! So many wonderful people helped with this, but especially my daughter-in-law Kristy.

Now, when I am out delivering and meeting people, they immediately know which vehicle is mine.

This helps so much since we deliver chickies to five counties in Southern California…San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange and Los Angeles. Sometimes even a bit further to Ventura and Santa Barbara.

One of my favorite things to do. Chilling in the coop with all the brand new 6 to 8 week olds who just moved into their juvenile housing.

It is so fun to get to watch them run around and figure out where the food and water is and how to get in and out of their coop from the run.

Of course their favorite is the big area for a dirt bath and sitting in the sunny spots.

Spent several hours doing the first steps for DNA sexing my 3 week old silkies. Results should be back by next week, and the first of the female silky orders will start going out!

After that we have several hundred that are 2 weeks and one week old, so we should start getting caught up on orders by the end of April.

Remember, as soon as I have the results, I'll go through the list in the same order they came in. If I don't have a color you wanted, I will still contact you if you are next on the list to see if you would like a different color. Otherwise, you will be first in line for your color with the next set of test.

The first four week old Chickies are shipping out today. And these two are super adorable. A lavender Orpington that will become soft and sweet. And such a pretty color. And a super sweet splash colored Marans, which lays dark brown eggs, and people tell me becomes their favorite chicken because of her personality.

Six week old Chickies will be shipping in two weeks time.

You can always pre-order our breeds at the age you would like. We raise them with love and care until they reach that age and then can deliver or ship to you depending on your location.

Babies are beginning to hatch! Lavender Orpingtons, Marans, Orpingtons and so many more! We have chickies for local Southern California delivery and shipping elsewhere.

First local delivery is this upcoming Monday. We are so excited here. After all the winter months of cleaning and disinfecting, it is always so nice to hear the first peeps of spring.

We have had such a busy year that I have not had time to post much. More and more babies hatch each week, so check back often. We currently have over 50 breeds available. So many silkies have hatched that we are getting close to the end of our preorder list, which means they will be available to purchase immediately soon.

We deliver throughout Southern California and ship chickies weekly to every state, except HI and AK.

What a busy week. Over 1000 babies hatching. Deliveries 5 days to all 5 counties. Boxes and boxes of chickies shipping! Phew...took Sunday off just to answer texts, messages and phone calls.

We have updated our website to include a section for what is Available Now. Our goal is to make it easier for you to see which chickies are running around the farm, versus available to preorder for upcoming hatches.
