FREE Chicks & Ducklings

We’re giving away our RED STAR PULLETS, INDIAN RED JUNGLE FOWL, and, PEKIN DUCKLINGS for FREE with a donation to our non-profit: Fairhaven Learning Project.  Come and visit the farm, take a tour, watch a demo, take a class, or just say hi!

Please note the RED STARS are pullets (hens that have not begun to lay yet). The JUNGLE FOWL and the DUCKLINGS are straight run.

RED STAR PULLETS are great laying hens.  They start laying at 4 months and lay all year round.  Large Brown eggs. We have pullets of all ages, newly hatched to 3 months.

Indian Red JUNGLE FOWL chicks – They are smallish-size but larger than bantams. Very good layers with creamy-colored eggs, excellent free rangers. Roosters are very showy with large iridescent black/green tails and rusty orange body feathers. Chicks resemble chipmunks.

Cotton Pickin’ Duck and Chicken

Well, really there are no chickens in this video, but it had to rhyme, and “goose” wasn’t going to work. I thought it was a riot when the ducks and geese decided to help with the new cotton garden. They have such funny and individual personalities.

Overall the plants are beautiful, the leaves a very unusual shape and the flowers so pretty. We’re growing them in partial shade and they seem to love it. We mulch with goat and rabbit manure. Lots of that around! You can tell we are strictly organic here by the holes in the leaves!! AND so far we have ONE cotton ball!

See what you think…

Happy Homesteading,
