Our Hatchery

Sustainable, Humane, & Ethical Practices

We keep our breeders with their flock during chick season, in a safe and separated space. We provide ample room, outdoor access, and adequate numbers to ensure that our beloved hens are not over-mated, injured, or stressed by the roosters.

We allow broody hens in our layer flock the opportunity to become moms by hatching the eggs and raising the chicks. If we do not have broody hens, we will incubate the eggs and hand-raise them in our brooder at home.

We house our roosters separately away from the hens to ensure that the roosters are not given the opportunity to fight or compete for the hens. This ensures everyone gets along. Roosters return to their bachelor flock to co-exist peacefully with other roosters when breeding is concluded.

While our hatching operations are quite small, we will allow our male chicks to grow up with their siblings, then upon maturity we will integrate them to our separate, rooster-only “bachelor flock” or re-home them to a home where they will receive love and care.
