Chickens- Started Laying Pullets Hens, Organic Low-PUFA for Eggs Meat - farm & garden - by dealer - sale - craigslist (2024)

DIET IS WHY THESE HENS ARE BETTER:

• It’s all about the chicken’s FEED! And it’s more about what they DON’T eat.
• All Organic Practices
• No Seed/Vegatable Oils, No Flax, Safflower- No PUFA’s!
• No Corn- it’s all bad nowadays, and GMO
• No Soy, an Endocrine-disrupter that promotes Estrogen
• No Liver Damage as chicks from excess calcium found in Layer Feeds
• No DNA-altering GMO's
• No Mealworm treats which are farmed in a soy sludge
• No Vaccines or Medications
• No Antibiotics or Growth Hormones
• No Scratch or Junk Food
• No Bio-Contamination from humans, other animals, or trashy/crowded conditions
• No Bio-Sludge Fertilizers
• No Glyphosate, Herbicides, or Pesticides
• No Processing Chemicals, Chlorine, Fluoride, Pharmaceuticals, Amoeba
• No Heavy Metals, Mercury
• No Preservatives, Fillers, Flow Agents, Desiccants, Radiation, Nitrates, Nitrites
• No Vitamin/Mineral Depletion
• No Carcinogens
• If you buy other hens and change their feed to the best feeds, it’ll take 6-8 weeks to change their body composition before their eggs are no longer as toxic, but still the hen’s body was raised on trash food during the most formative first six weeks.

• They are very young, just starting their laying life. All chickens over the age of 2 will begin to reduce productivity by about 10-15%/yr. Many of the chickens available on the market are old and past their laying prime. Some have even come from commercial operations and are very low-quality birds.
• These carefully selected breeds give everything a chicken keeper needs in a flock with least headaches.
• Heritage (not hybrid) birds of an 88-year lineage of fine breeding stock, not inbred. They will breed true and you can continue your flock indefinitely. 88 years of focused genetic selection to produce disease resistant and productive poultry for public use. Almost every chicken keeper that hatches eggs is NOT a breeder, they are merely a hatcher. So, their genetics get watered down and desirable traits get lost while overall quality is poor. So, they are not a good source of birds.
• Friendly, Clean, Low Stress, Non-Crowded, Happy Growing Environment.
• Our ranch home is a luxury retreat and ministry center, and our chicken facilities are clean and beautiful, unlike most backyard breeder operations that are trashy and filthy.
• I hand raise these hens from chicks. They interact with two large dogs and a cat and are not afraid. Our woods are full of predators (coon, fox, bobcat, ringtail). So, they are predator aware and will go inside your coop every night without problem, unlike naive barn-raised hens.
• These are perfect laying hens to start out with and are all socialized to humans, each other, and other pets.
• They don't need supplemental heat in cold winter weather.
• I will continue to guide and help you as long as you need it, and supply your high-quality feeds, barrels, and feeders.
• It takes a lot of time, effort, and expense to produce laying hens of this quality. It's easy to find cheaper birds, but they've been fed cheap junk food and lay toxic eggs. It takes about 6-8 weeks after changing hen's diet, if they've been eating soy, corn, etc. before their body composition changes and egg quality improves. Ours lay very healthy eggs without common toxins, and high in Omega-3, vitamins, minerals, and protein.

BREEDS AVAILABLE:

EGG PRODUCTION DOWN? A FEW COMMON REASONS:
Currently many chicken keepers are experiencing reduced or halted egg production, and many are blaming commercial feed additives. It's a known and widespread crisis, but not a problem with our hens and feeds.

• Hen’s age is over 2-3 years. Solution: convert the hen from a Layer to a Broiler
• Decreased hours of sunlight in winter affects circadian rhythm. Solution: add two hours of red incandescent light in the coop at dusk on a timer
• Some breeds don’t lay year-round. Solution: get breeds that do
• Stress in the flock from predator pressure, overcrowding, pressure from more than 1 rooster per 10 hens, dogs at the fence line, wild children not taught to move slow and be gentle, human keepers full of stress or discord, etc. Solution: find ways to reduce stress on the flock. Call me if you need help with predators.
• Conventional feeds are widely rumored to be at fault. Solution: change your feed for 6wks+ and reassess. Better yet, start a new flock on the right feeds.
• Mineral depletion- water may be the culprit. A very popular brooder manufacturer actually recommends distilled water only in their watering systems! This may keep the equipment cleaner, but it makes people and animals very sickly from mineral depletion. Utility water is also full of very bad properties not fit for human or animal consumption. Well water is best. Solution: Use a water additive with minerals, probiotics, prebiotics oregano.

WHEN TO RETIRE HENS:
Generally, laying hens begin to reduce egg production after their 2nd year of laying. This is a good time to rotate a hen’s function from layer to broiler and replace her with another started pullet. I like to put a unique colored leg band on each generation, so I know when to rotate an entire generation out of the flock, into the freezer. This extremely healthy meat then feeds my family and my dogs. We never buy meat at the grocery store anymore and are healthier for it. I urge you to consider your chicken flock a food source, and not pets. Remain detached as much as you can while still enjoying the rewards of socializing with chickens. That’s not callous, it’s God’s order of creation. If you want to be self-sustaining, then the healthy emotional detachment of a farmer is necessary.

CONCLUSION:
Come see our ranch and small flock operation for yourself. I encourage you to raise your own single-breed heritage flock that will breed true for decades, starting with our fine stock.
I can give you a lot of help if you're just getting started with chicken keeping. There's a lot of misconceptions and mistakes new chicken keepers make and so I can save you a year or two of learning curve.

Order now. Availability is very limited in our tiny operation. We do sell out before they come of age.
