Welcome to the world of backyard chickens

We’re a small, family-owned chicken egg-laying business operated from our home. We generate a modest income through direct-to-consumer sales of farm-fresh eggs, with the occasional local market showing. Our operations focus on high-quality, pasture-raised, cage-free, ethical, and sustainable practices. Sustainability is our passion and our chickens are more like family members than working animals.

Meet Shortie!

If you’ve seen Disney’s Moana, then you know one of our favorite characters, Heihei. Shortie is our Heihei. He’s a bit of a goofball, but super friendly. He loves to eat and will do most anything you ask for a tasty treat.

Meet our next generation.

These babies were hatched over the last 2 months, January and February 2026. They are our very first Helotes Henhouse (F1) new kids on the block, along with a couple new Marans cousins. We may be biased, but they’re super cute and loaded with personality!
