EGGS & CHICKS
Welcome to Cowlitz River Farm, where our happy, free-ranging hens provide fresh, nutrient-packed eggs and healthy baby chicks each spring. Our flock free ranges on pasture and feasts on fresh salmon and steelhead carcasses year round, resulting in eggs loaded with omega-3s and exceptional nutrition. We offer fresh eggs for your table, fertile hatching eggs, and baby chicks from our hardy, well-cared for flock. Whether you're looking to enjoy the best farm fresh eggs or start your own backyard flock, we've got you covered!
Farm Fresh Eggs
Our farm fresh eggs are as beautiful as they are nutritious. Laid by our happy, free-ranging hens, they come in a stunning rainbow of colors--deep dark browns, soft creams, delicate pinks, and vibrant blues and greens. With rich orange yolks and strong shells, these eggs are proof of the exceptional care and nutrition our hens receive. Packed with omega-3s and wholesome goodness, they're the perfect addition to your table! We add fresh eggs to our farm stand almost daily. $5/dozen
Hatching Eggs
Our hatching eggs offer a beautiful barnyard mix, perfect for those wanting a colorful egg basket or hardy, dual-purpose birds. Blue and green eggs will likely hatch chicks that grow into hens laying stunning shades from blue to green. Brown eggs come from our robust dual-purpose birds, ideal for laying brown eggs or raising for the table. $20/dozen
Baby Chicks
Each spring, we hatch a limited number of strong, healthy chicks from our diverse, free-ranging flock. These barnyard mix chicks are straight run (unsexed) and can grow into hardy layers or robust dual-purpose birds. Space is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot early!
​
Our colorful egg layers include Ameraucanas, Whiting True Blues, and Whiting True Greens. When crossed with our Bielefelder and Lavender Orpington roosters, these chicks will likely grow into hens that lay beautiful shades of blue, green and mint--perfect for a vibrant egg basket!
​
For those wanting dual-purpose birds, our Bielefelder, Lavender Orpington, Buff Orpington, New Hampshire, Speckled Sussex, Columbian Wyandotte, and White Rock hens cross with our Bielefelder and Lavender Orpington roosters to produce sturdy, well-built offspring. These chicks will mature into excellent brown egg layers with good size, strong growth rates, and meat for the table.
​
Our mixed flock creates hardy, healthy birds with excellent foraging instincts, strong immune systems, and friendly temperaments. Whether you're looking for beautiful egg layers or a sustainable meat source, our chicks will be a great addition to your flock.
