Our Blue Wheaten/Wheaten Ameraucana's

We are proud to introduce you to our flock of Large Fowl "Blue Wheaten" Ameraucana's. This breed and variety is recognized by the APA. We acquired this line from fellow Ameraucana fancier Jessica Rodgers, who handpicked our breeding flock for 2022 from her own stock. This line has surprised us with brilliant blue eggs. Our girls have been laying 4-5 medium-large eggs weekly. We are reminded daily how sweet and docile this breed is.

Wheaten's are a rare, stunning variety of Marans, also known as "chocolate egg layers" because of their eggs reddish brown bloom. They were first accepted into the US Standard in 2011. Wheaten females are cream-colored, (The color of the grains of wheat) and their hackles are a beautiful reddish beige. We are very excited to contribute to the Marans community! We are proud to announce our breeding flock of 2023, shipped all the way from Frank May in Tennessee!

We are proud to offer our line of Blue/Black/Splash Copper Marans here in Eastern Oregon. This line has been a project on our farm since 2018. Over the summer of 2021 we connected with a fellow Marans breeder in California and shipped in our gorgeous Blue Copper Marans rooster, producing eye-catching Blue/Black/Splash Copper Marans. We are very pleased with the results from our breeding program and we're sure you will be too. Blue Copper & Splash Copper Marans are not yet recognized by the APA.

Hollands are listed as a critically endangered American breed. This breed was created in the 1930's with a dual-purpose white egg layer in mind, and thus, the Holland was hatched. Because of their barring, Barred Hollands are feather sexable at hatch. Our line is originally from Sandhill Preservation, we hatched two dozen eggs in 2022 and have been working on increasing overall weight with this variety. Hens can lay 200-240 large white eggs per year. Barred Hollands are recognized by the APA.

"MarsBar" are a cross between a Marans and a Legbar. We use Golden Crele Legbars (blue egg layer), purchased locally from the Big "R" Ranch and our Wheaten Marans (dark egg genetics) to produce Wheaten MarsBar Olive Eggers. MarsBar are "sex-linked," meaning pullets/cockerels can be visually identified at hatch by their feather pattern. They have fun crests, a single comb and lightly feathered legs. MarsBar do NOT breed true. They are not recognized by the APA.

We use Wheaten Marans and Wheaten Ameraucana in our Wheaten Olive Egger breeding program. These Olive Egger pullets/hens are a creamy Wheaten color, cockerels feather in black with copper hackles/saddles making them easy to sex early on. They may exhibit muffs and beards, lightly feathered legs and/or peacombs. This dual-purpose hybrid is specifically bred to produce olive colored eggs. These birds do NOT breed true. They are not recognized by the APA, but a fun addition to any flock!
