Poultry and Exotic Fowl

Lady Amherst Pheasant

Our family also raise poultry and exotic fowl.  We have purebred Rhode Island Red, Sumatra, and Silkie chickens, Royal Palm turkeys, and Pastel Call ducks for show, as well as, Lady Amherst pheasants simply for their beauty.

Royal Palm Turkey

We do sell RIR and Silkie chicks, turkey poults, and fertile eggs for hatching.  Availablity is limited.  Pick up locally or at rabbit shows we attend.

Toggenburg Dairy Goats

Cade with his first kid, Fudge, whom he helped deliver by himself.

Hailing from Switzerland, Toggenburgs are the oldest breed of dairy goat in the world.  Our small herd of uniformly colored and patterned Toggs look lovely all together out in the orchard.  They are great producers of delicious milk.  We use their milk for drinking, cooking, baking, and cheese making.

Cade's 2nd year milking doe, Pella's Triple C All About Me "Pixie", took BIS at the county fair this year while his 5 month old doeling, Fudge, took RIS.  While competition was very scarce, we are proud of Cade for his accomplishments.

 Fudge's mama is Golden Era Sierra Swirl "Sierra" and is our best milker.

Valinor's Apache Tears, CGC

Our gentle giant, Apache.

 Apache Tears is our pure black Great Dane - a Valinor Great Dane from Everett Van Dyken.  She is very loving and watchful over our home and the rabbits.  She enjoys spending time in the rabbitry almost as much as she loves hanging with the family.
