(Broken, Blue, Black)
Forgotten Oaks Homestead LLC is a small family business located in Poplar Grove, IL. We specialize in Orpington Chickens. Selling fertile hatching eggs, chicks, and non-fertile eating eggs. We also offer New Zealand kits.
We chose the Orpington breed for its gentle nature and they are great with children, even the roosters are more docile then most breeds. Our Orpingtons come in Lavender, Chocolate, and Black color. We do cross breed a couple Americana chickens to breed Easter Eggs for the colorful eggs.
The New Zealand rabbit is a great dual purpose rabbit. It is a large breed known for meat production as well as a great pet and show rabbit. We offer blues, blacks, and broken black.

Hatchery - My Yard Birds
3 Chocolate split Lavender Orpington Laying Hens 11 to 14 months old
Hatched from my English Chocolate Orpington rooster and my Lavender Orpington hens. They free ranging during the day and return to the coop at night.
I start collecting when order is placed. There might be a waiting list.
Eggs are from my Black Split Lavender F1 rooster to Lavender Hens will hatch 50% Lavender and 50% Black Split Lavender (50/50% per egg). If you breed the lavenders together, you will have 100% lavender chicks.
I can not guarantee your hatch rate. There are too many variables. Expressly, if this is your first time incubating or if you are putting them under a broody hen.
Nest run (not washed or sized) this keeps the natural protective coating that seals the shell and helps keep bacteria out. I do refrigerate and collect daily. The chickens are kept in a separate coop away from my rooster.
