Blue Cochins

Although they are provided with a coop and fenced yard, they are released daily to free range at will, always staying on our property and under our care.  Although rare, if any animal should become ill, it is isolated and treated until it is healthy again.  If it must be administered medication, it's eggs will not be included in our sales supply.  Thus our eggs are always free of hormones, antibiotics, and additives.  We have no need to vaccinate our chickens so vaccines will not come through in the eggs. We wash and grade all eggs and weigh each dozen to classify them by size according to the industry guidelines. We strive to sell Grade AA eggs.

We feed our chickens a healthy premium diet custom-mixed here at the farm.  We adjust the ration as needed but it typically contains high-quality whole ingredients such as flax seed, Alaskan-grown Delta barley (generously supplied by Suzanne Nevada and Rick Williams ), Palmer-grown oats grown by Bill Krostek, sea salt, Alaskan salmon meat, fat, and bone meal supplied by Alaska Sea-Ag, kelp meal, brewer's yeast, rice bran, cracked corn, alfalfa, brome, and timothy.  They always have free-choice access to fresh, clean water, grit, and oyster shell.  We also recycle their shells for refeeding, which helps ensures our hens are consuming healthy supplements produced at our own farm as well as controlling feed costs.

We raise several breeds of egg-laying, meat, and dual-purpose chickens including Araucanas/Ameraucanas, Golden Laced Wyandottes, Blue Cochins, Brahmas, Black Jersey Giants, Australorps, Dark Cornish, Partridge Rock, Barred Rocks, Andalusians, Cuckoo Marans, and more. We ran a string of 100 Freedom Rangers and were quite happy with them. Unfortunately, our supplier has retired and we did not hold any over because they do not breed true. We will look for another similar breed to replace our broiler stock in the near future, but for now, we are not offering a regular supply of meat chickens.
