Our Breeds

Lakenvelder

Predominantly white, with black markings and tail feathers the Lakenvelder name translates to "shadow on a sheet". The history of the Lakenvelder breed traces back to the Netherlands, where it has been present for many centuries.

The comb and wattles are medium-sized and bright red, their legs are clean and slate blue in color. Hens typically weigh four to five pounds, while roosters can reach up to six pounds. 
 

Lakenvelders are very active and alert however they can be a bit skittish so its important to do lots of socialization and handling to develop trust towards people. We find them to be very curious and love to watch when we do work in the yard. Excellent layers that rarely go broody.
 

Lay 4-5 white eggs per week

Vorwerk

The Vorwerk is a rare, dual-purpose chicken developed in Germany over a century ago by Oskar Vorwerk, who aimed to create a productive, medium-sized bird with a distinctive appearance.
 

They feature stunning gold and black feathers, white earlobes, and slate-colored legs. Though often confused with golden Lakenvelders, they differ significantly in history, body type, and temperament.
 

The breed does come in bantam but we only breed the standard. Roosters mature at six to seven pounds and hens between five to six pounds.
 

As the breed is hard to find in Canada, we have sourced our lines from both Wisconsin and Florida. 
 

Lay 3-4 cream/tan eggs per week

Double Laced Gold Barnevelder

Originating in the Netherlands almost 200 years ago, Barnevelders are a medium size bird known for their intricate double-laced feather pattern.
 

“Barnies” come in a variety of colours but we only breed Double Laced Gold which is a black feather with a sharp double mahogany lacing.
 

Roosters weigh seven to eight pounds at maturity and the hens are six to seven pounds. They have a single red comb, red wattles and earlobes, and yellow legs. 
 

These are docile friendly birds that make exceptional pets. Our flock is so friendly and accepting that we have even caught young chicks snuggled up to the rooster.
 

Lay 3-4 pink tinted eggs per week

Swedish Flower Hen

Swedish Flower Hens, or Blommehöna, are a vibrant and hardy landrace chicken that naturally evolved over centuries in Sweden.

​

They are a large breed with roosters reaching between six and eight pounds and hens between four and six pounds.

 

Known for their striking, wildflower-like feathering and calm, friendly temperament, they are very robust in health and can withstand cold climates. 

​

The "Swedish" thrive in free-range environments, enjoy human interaction, and are prolific egg layers throughout the year. The patterns are so diverse that no two birds are alike which makes it hard to resist collecting them all. 

​

Lay 4 large peach/cream eggs per week

F1 Olive Egger

Our FI Olive Eggers are a hybrid of Marans (Black Cooper, Wheaten & Splash) crossed with Ameraucana.

Feather colour will vary as well as traits such as feathered feet & fluffy cheeks however all hens will lay dark green eggs.

These are a cross so will not breed true.

If purchasing as hatching eggs, please note that the eggs you receive will be dark brown not olive.
 

Lay 3-4 green eggs per week

Muscovy Duck

With their soft coos and wagging tails it is hard not to fall in love with the Muscovy duck.

Known as the quack-less duck, Muscovy are quiet and very friendly. Ours love to follow us around the yard happily munching on greens and bugs. Easy to tame with a handful of peas they make great pets.

Males can weigh up to 15 pounds while females are about half that size. Their most recognizable feature is the red caruncles around their eyes and bills.

We breed black & white, chocolate (brown) and blue (gray).
