Hello! We are so glad that you decided to check us out @the_mixed_flock.

We are a blended family of 7 with children of different ages and personalities, just like a mixed flock of hens. We also LOVE our chickens and want to share our passion for harvesting nutrient-dense food with the community that we live in.

A “mixed-flock” is defined as a group of different breeds of chickens that join each other and move together while foraging for food. This relates well to our family in a couple of different ways.

Chickens as well as people are all individuals with distinct identities and preferences and having a diverse flock is what keeps things interesting! Plus, we are able to tell each chicken apart by their feathers and egg color. Another benefit is that the hens have steady egg production throughout the year since different breeds lay on different schedules.

Come check out our farmstand this summer for fresh eggs and other goodies!
