Rainbow Chicken Flock

Chickens have been on our farm since the beginning. They were the bug patrol and provided us with farm fresh eggs that have no comparison!

A couple years ago, we started expanding our flock, and adding many colors and speckles to our egg basket. Chicks are some of the Morris Bro's’ favorites and we cant imagine our little farm without chickens!

Join in sharing your colorful egg baskets and learning more about the chickens that make these great colors in our new Facebook group: Rainbow Egg Baskets!

Breeding for egg color takes a lot of patience. Not only do you have to wait for the eggs to hatch, but you don’t know what you’ll get until the chick grows and starts laying!!! When aiming for certain colors, think of it a little like mixing paint, and using “filters” on pictures!

ALL eggs are either blue shell or white shell (crack them open and look at the inside.) The outside color is determined by the pigment the hen adds to the egg.
