NASHWAAK QUEEN HENS: We have some hens that are in their first cycle of laying ready to leave: They are just under one year old. -Hatched late spring/early summer of 2025
Chicks and Hatching eggs scheduled for May and June:
Plymouth barred rock chickens, Welsummer chickens, Nashwaak Queens (our heritage hybrid layers): we raise and breed these heritage chickens because of their quality of meat, years of good laying, and foraging abilities. We use our barred rocks as our meat birds, and all are cage free, and free range year round.
It took us a few years to source good genetics for our Welsummers and to grow them out to start our hybrid we call Nashwaak Queens and kings.
Nashwaak King meat chicks - (hybrids of Welsummer and barred rock) These heritage hybrid chickens make a great foraging heritage meat bird, These hybrids are docile and yummy! They eat less food than meat kings, but take longer to grow out. Great for free range and pastures.
