Breeding for Pigments & Bloom in SW Ohio!

Our program is based upon a closed line of Black Copper Marans that is selected for the SOP and a deep red and purple pigmentation in egg color. This line often throws a heavy bloom which appears purple, and is the foundation for all of our heritage crosses. We also keep Ameraucana and the American Bresse for the table.

We ship a limited number of hatching eggs in early spring followed by day old chicks, ducklings, and live quail— shipping weekly from ‘the heart of it all’ in Ohio, late March through mid October. We’re NPIP & AI clean. Please read our policies before ordering, you agree to them at the point of sale.

Thanks for looking to us to better your rainbow egg basket, we appreciate you!

Pictured here are our ‘Purple Coppers’ heavy bloom line of Black Copper Marans, later gen and backcrossed olive eggers, and coturnix quail eggs. We cull brown undertones and select for deep burgundy-red pigmentation & purple heavy bloom in our Marans line.
