Our hens are very well cared for, we use localy grown feed, steamed oats, sunflowers seeds, and cracked corn in the winter months.
In the summer months they are free to roam, where they please. We plant oats so they always have greens to eat.
2017
Looking forward to this spring hatch, and hearing from all of you about your interests in chickens and farming. This year we are not going to be using PayPal due to expense and complications.
For all your chick orders there is a 50% deposit at time of order that can be sent E-transfer to skruse23@msn.com or admin@windwalkingpaints.com . (tutorial on E-transfer on "Contact Us" page) or you can mail a cheque to P.O. box 253 Carmacks YT Y0B 1C0.
2016
Well time is flying this year I must say. We have a larger incubator set up and running, so we are hoping to be hatching close to 200 chicks a month.
Chicks will be sold unsexed ONLY this year as I do not have the space to raise all the males at this point. To my knowledge nowhere in Canada can you buy these breeds sexed, but its something we want to look into doing. The males are great for eating, butcher at 16 to 18 weeks of age, if roasted for longer at a lower tempature, they are super tender and have great flavor.
I have just set-up a PayPal shopping cart to take all your orders. this is a first time using Paypal this way so I hope it works out and makes things easier for everyone.. Let me know if you have any questions
2015 Was a great year for us we hatched over 110 chicks and sold them locally, with a lot of interest for more. Throughout the summer I managed to get a few of the heritage breeds I was looking for, with some help from my sister, we got eggs flown up from Alberta and I hatched them here at the ranch (Black, Blue, Lavender Orpington's) Now these beauties have grown up to be a very plump looking birds. They have been laying well for us all winter, looking forward to sharing these unique heritage breed with the local Yukoners, for the 2016 hatch.

Buff Orpington
The Buff Orpington breed is a great choice for a backyard chicken - beautiful with a nice personality and winter hardiness. The breed originated in Orpington, Kent, United Kingdom in the late 1800's. There are Black Orpingtons, White Orpingtons, Blue Orpingtons (somewhat rare), and Buff Orpingtons - the Buff color being the most prevalent. They are raised for the purposes of both meat and egg production (a "dual purpose" breed).
Their temperment is calm and friendly, as opposed to flighty, skittish or agressive. I had read that in a flock containing different breeds of chickens, Buff Orpingtons were often "picked on" because of their relative docility.
Buff Orpingtons mature moderately early and are good layers of brown eggs. They are also cold hardy and very broody, making them a great choice for the backyard homestead.
can lay up to 340 eggs per year.

Black Copper Marans
The Black Copper Marans are new to Sunset Ridge Ranch and I am very excited to be sharing them with everyone.. they are a lovely bird that seems to handle the Northern winters just fine. I love the colored eggs they give off and have a very curious personalities make them a pleasant bird. The hens lay around 150-200 dark brown eggs each year depending on the variety, they are also a dual-purpose bird, prized no only for their dark eggs but for their table qualities as well. I haven't tried putting any in the freezer yet but will this fall... They are a breed that originated in France..
