Are you concerned that when you buy chicks some might turn out to be roosters? Very disappointing, and in most cases the seller is not going to help you with your problem. You can buy from us with confidence because we breed several different breeds that are easily sexable as chicks, and I will stand behind that by replacing (if I have a suitable replacement pullet) or refunding your money.
We can do this because we use the genetics of chick down color to show the sex of each chick as it hatches. With the autosexing breeds, the difference is substantial, making them sexable as soon as they are hatched.
There are details about each breed we raise in the links on the left. This is a current list of what is available.
| Breed | Eggs | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cream Legbar | Blue | Our most popular breed for backyard chickens |
| Opal Legbar | Blue | Similar to Cream Legbars, but with the lavender gene added |
| Welbar (autosexing Welsummer) | Dark Brown | Very rare autosexing dark egg layer, created by adding the gene for sexlinked barring to normal Welsummers |
| Olive Egger | Dark Green | Autosexing cross of the above 2 breeds |
(males of all these may be available - inquire if interested)
