Newport, Tennessee · Est. on a Smoky Mountain homestead
Fertile hatching eggs, day-old chicks, ducklings, and quail from a family hatchery in East Tennessee. Picked up in person, so nothing you buy has ever been in the mail.
What we hatch
Prices hold across breeds unless a rarer line costs us more to keep. Everything is straight run unless we tell you otherwise.
Fertile eggs collected within a week and never washed, plus farm-fresh eating eggs from the same pasture.

In the coop right now
Four laying breeds we keep year-round, including the blue and green egg layers everybody asks for. More heritage lines are on the way.
Hatching nowBrown eggs, ~4–5 a week
A hardy, friendly dual-purpose breed and the one we point beginners at first. Reliable brown-egg layers in the classic black-and-white barring, calm in a mixed flock, and tough enough for free range.
Hatching nowBrown eggs, ~5–6 a week
One of the most productive brown-egg layers there is. Tough, adaptable, and calm — a homestead staple that keeps laying through heat, cold, and short winter days.
Hatching nowLight brown eggs, ~4 a week
A stunning ornamental dual-purpose bird — silver feathers edged in black lacing, a rose comb that shrugs off frost, and a docile temperament that makes them easy to keep.
Hatching nowBlue, green & olive eggs
Our blue-egg layers — Ameraucanas (often searched as “Americana”), Easter Eggers, and Olive Eggers. They fill the basket with blue, green, and olive eggs and make colorful, friendly additions to a free-range flock.

We hatch in batches we can actually keep an eye on. That means we sometimes run out, and it also means we know which hen laid the egg in your incubator.
Same family, same farm as AMRabbits — the poultry side just outgrew the page it was living on.
01
Every bird we sell came out of an incubator on this farm. Nothing gets drop-shipped from a commercial hatchery and resold to you at a markup.
02
Shipped hatching eggs arrive with rattled air cells and hatch badly. Ours go from the nest box to your incubator without a postal truck in between.
03
First hatch going sideways at 11pm on day 19? Call Michael. Support doesn't stop when the money changes hands.
04
Chicks are straight run and we say so. No sexing guesses we can't stand behind, no surprises six weeks later when somebody starts crowing.
How it works
Call or text Michael at 423-540-6566, send a message, or watch Facebook and Instagram for what's coming off the incubator this week.
A partial deposit holds your pick and comes off the total at pickup. Same-day pickups don't need one.
We'll have your birds boxed and ready, walk you through the first week, and send you home set up to succeed.
Reserve with a deposit, or call Michael at 423-540-6566 and just ask what's hatching this week.
