The Itsy Bitsy Farm

This page is under construction.  Thank you for your patience.

This year (2009) we are going to be renewing and adding yet more unusual birds to the coop. 

We have many dual-purpose birds. The term dual-purpose means that the chickens can be used for meat (roosters) and the hens are good layers as well.  We will be raising a limited quantity of "meat" chickens.  We are also adding some rare and heritage breeds. 

As with the rabbits, this is a small production for family and friends , but we are open to orders and may have too many for our needs.  These chickens are wholesome: we raise them on grain and free range when possible. The prices are subject to change,  2009 prices are 3.50$/lb.

Breeds that we have include:

Orpington, Rhode Island Red, Cochin, Cuckoo Maran, Naked Neck, Barred Rock, Jersey Giant, Polish, Ameraucanas, Silkies, Brown and White layers, Game hens....

We have Jumbo Coturnix or Japanese quails.  We have eggs and meat available. As with the chickens and all other meat/food producing animals on the farm, we will not feed any medication and they will be treated humanely and with dignity.  This production is for our own use, however, should you desire quails, live, meat or eggs, please email for information.
