First Animals Arrive!

Our first animals have arrived at Wild Type Ranch!

First day home for our 30 laying hens. 18 Golden Lace Wyandotte (brown) and 12 Delaware (yellow)

We started with chicks because they're the easiest to get started with and help us test our systems before the larger livestock arrive. These little ones will grow into our laying flock, providing eggs for our community.

Our team is already bonding with the new arrivals. There's something special about watching new life settle into the farm.

Chicks in brooder with enrichment items — As the chicks grow, we add natural elements and food to their brooder to get them ready to forage and thrive on pasture.

We add perches, greens, and other enrichment items to help them develop naturally and prepare for life on pasture. This early exposure to diverse foods and environments helps them become better foragers.

Stay tuned for more updates as our flock grows and more animals join the farm!

Nourish your body, heal the soil!

Another Sheep Surprise

Just when we thought we were settled in for the rest of the winter, as far as the sheep are concerned... I wound up flat on my back in the middle of the ewe flock. Now I need names for a troublesome ewe and her new lamb.
