Flock Policies
I don't kill "surplus" rooster chicks. They live happy lives just like the hens until they are sold. The problem roosters I take in are either given to customers looking for a flock protector or sold. They don't join my hen flock.
​
All birds sold as hens are guaranteed hens. Even if it's a chick hatched elsewhere and the mistake was not mine, if I sold it as a hen, you can return them and get a hen.
​
My flock is still growing. I only bring in baby chicks or eggs, and I only get them from NPIP certified flocks, to minimize disease importation risk.
​
Sexed chicks are vaccinated against Mareks and coccidiosis and fed non-medicated feed. On-farm hatches are unvaccinated and fed non-medicated feed.
Program Goals
It has been a joy providing people with reliable and healthy hens. So far, the flock is a good fit on our diversifying farm. I also get to try out new breeds as well as keeping a few that have proved they thrive in our region and have a good temperament I continue to experiment with established breeds and new crosses, always looking for birds that are healthy, suited to my regional weather, don't exhibit meanness, and can lay beautiful eggs. Auto-sexing is a plus.

ABOUT JERSEY WEST FARM
I began raising sheep with my grandfather when I was 10 years old. At 16, I moved to a new farm and my grandfather sent the sheep with me. At 18, I began pursuing rarer sheep, but it would be another 5 years before I acquired my first Navajo-Churros. Some years later, I added some other breeds, and eventually got my Bluefaced Leicesters. Currently I'm shifting the flock to focus on the Navajo-Churro, BFL, and my BFL mules (crossbreds.)
Working in partnership with long-time purveyors of hay, straw, and mulch - delivery and custom work available. Large square, round, small square (two string), by the bale or by the trailer. Also available - unregistered Hereford cattle.
