DJ and Annie took over Sustainable Chickens in 2017. They have been raising chicks with love and providing the highest quality pullets and hens to customers ever since! DJ and Annie believe that starting with coop ready pullets instead of chicks give new chicken owners the best possible success. If any issues arise, they are happy to help any way they can! They also have an ever growing number of laying hens in a variety of coops that help in understanding how to best recommend solutions for any situation. With so many chickens, they also have quite a few eggs to sell year-round.
Annie and DJ have three little farm helpers. Harrison is 6 years old and loves to help with the chicks, chickens, and all of the other animals. He is our best chicken wrangler and his favorite job is feeding any fruits and veggie scraps to the birds. Lilyann is 4 years old and enjoys collecting eggs. Cyrus is our newest addition and is just one year old. For now he enjoys watching everything, but he’ll be joining along in all the fun in no time! Along with numerous chickens, you can find goats, ducks, turkeys, pigs, horses, dogs, cats hanging around the farm.
