Collection: Live Birds (Eggs & Chicks)
Purchasing Poultry and Eggs from Rooster Ridge Farm
First, please understand that we are NOT a large commercial hatchery, just a small farm that enjoys our poultry. We work hard to raise healthy, hearty birds who work well for the backyard hobbyist, 4H families and homesteaders alike.
Orders are filled in the order in which they are received. We are NPIP and will ship eggs, however we do not ship chicks or feathered birds at this time.
In 2024-2025, these are the breeds we are offering.
Our RIR's are NOT the commercial red birds you get from the farm stores and hatcheries. These birds are a heritage breed, with much darker feathers, more meat and more consistency from generation to generation. Our birds are always bred with the APA Standard of Perfection in mind first. Rhode Island Reds are great foragers and do well both a free range, or coop setting, they lay 200-300 large brown eggs per year, generally starting at 4-6 months of age. These have quickly become some of our favorite birds with their curious personalities and docile nature.
Our Blue/Black Copper Marans are NOT the commercial variety of Marans or "Mystic Marans" that have become so popular in recent years. These birds are from exhibitor breeder stock and have been carefully selected each generation to meet the APA Standard of Perfection with a mind on egg color. They are a large fowl and layers of gorgeous dark brown eggs.
