Our chickens are hybrids, which is fairly common in poultry.  Many chickens are cross-bred in backyards and small farms and they're still just as delicious and productive as their parents.

​

Cross-bred chickens are referred to as "barnyard mix" or BYM.

​

A hybrid chicken is a cross-bred chicken with a stabilized biological makeup, over generations, while still maintaining the benefits of the contributing breeds.

​

 We've had all sorts of chickens, and have narrowed down what's important to us, developing our own hybrid, unavailable anywhere else.  We like eggs and poultry meat - that's why we're all here, living together.

​

the "Scrambler" is a dual-purpose chicken that lays reliably, and offers a generous yield at harvest.
