Windy Oaks Farm
Grown with love, from our family to yours
We are a small farm in western New York, raising show correct colorful fullblood boer goats. Show correct and colorful were the goal in hopes our three human kids would want to show them. Goats are sold for market projects, breeding stock and any not show correct are sold for local consumption.
In addition to goats, we also raise chickens. We sell eggs by the colorful dozen! We have also started to sell fertilized eggs and hatched chicks (Breeds available are limited this year, but next year we hope to offer a wide range of heritage breed/rare breed birds, with a goal being a healthy bird that is show correct). Once chicken math took off, the next logical step was to branch out yet again, with heritage breed turkeys, Royal Palms (and very recently Bourbon Red hens). In the beginning the goal was to raise birds with great flavor sized just right for our smoker. Needless to say the hens were fertile, the eggs developed, and the babies grew! The turkey flock is now made up of a Royal Palm tom, six Royal Palm hens and three Red Bourbon hens (we plan on purchasing a BR tom down the road, but we want a show quality, healthy bird).
This spring we started the long term expansion of the farm to include a beef cow herd. We currently have an adorable beef heifer, Stella, who will be a foundation dam for our herd. Her sister, Ruby, is due to be born early April 2022. Beef will not be available for a couple years given that the little girls need to grow up and then become mamas themselves.
On the quieter side of things, we also try to raise as many fruits and veggies as we can. Ashley loves to can and make jelly, hopefully this upcoming year she will be able to fulfill the requirements for selling home canned goods. The farm has an old orchard we are slowly replanting, a blueberry patch, ever expanding raspberry patch, wild and wonderful elderberry patch, and a nice sized garden for veggies and strawberries.

Eats and Cheeps
From eggs to hatch or eat, chicks and poults, and goats for show or eats, we have the yummy or cuddly covered!
Fresh eatin' chicken eggs
$4 single dozen or $20 for 6 dozen
Fresh eggs in a variety of colors (blue, green, peach, pink, light brown, light brown with speckles, dark brown)
Incubatin' chicken eggs
$15 a dozen
A dozen of fertile barnyard mixes breed eggs. These eggs could be fertilized by any of our five roosters. We cannot guarantee what will come out since breeds have not been separated out yet. Hatchability of eggs and sex of chicks hatched from eggs cannot be guaranteed also.
If interested in eggs of certain breeds, we will be posting eggs for sale with specific matings once our breeding pen shed is completed and hens have had time to dissipate sperm from the mixed flock.
Barnyard mix chicks: straight run
$3 each
These little puffs hatched out of green, blue or dark brown eggs. Daddies could be a French Black Copper Marans, Barred Rock, Silver Lakenvelder, or Sicilian Buttercup. Unsexed.
Fresh eatin' turkey eggs
$25 a dozen
Fresh turkey eggs gathered with the intent for eating. These can be the size of a large to extra large chicken egg. They have been washed and refrigerated.
Incubatin' turkey eggs
$75 a dozen
Royal Palm eggs for incubating. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee the hatchability of eggs nor the sex of poults that hatch.
Fresh eatin' Serama bantam eggs
$9 a dozen
Seramas are the tiniest chicken breed and lay a tiny egg, similar min size to that of a quail. While it takes 4 Serama eggs to equal one chicken egg, they have a larger yolk to white ratio resulting in a very rich tasting egg. Eggs will be washed and refrigerated.
Incubatin' Serama eggs
$40 a dozen
Fertile Serama eggs for hatching. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee the hatchability of eggs nor sex and color of chicks that hatch.
Serama chicks: straight run
$8 a chick
These tiny little stinkers will steal your heart! They make great pet birds with tons of personality. Given their small size, they do require a warmer coop in cold winter temps than regular sized chickens. We usually have a wall mounted heat plate or a heat lamp that is secured safely and checked daily for dust/debris/safety. The hens are subtly beautiful while the roosters are showy and flamboyant.

Goats and eggs and chicks oh my!
Our Story
Farm Fresh Food and Livestock Raised Right
We moved to western NY for jobs as a dairy veterinarian and a mixed animal veterinarian. We moved to the farm Thanksgiving day 2011. It all started as a place for us to bring Ashley's horse up from Virginia. But it quickly spiraled out of control (well that depends on who you ask, she says it's perfect and he says it's crazy). What started as 1 cat, 1 dog and 1 horse has grown to 2 horses, 2 heifers, 6 dogs, 6 cats, 21 goats (prekidding season), 70ish or more chickens, 10 turkeys and one bunny rabbit.
Our Mission
Food grown locally and responsibly
Our mission at Windy Oaks Farm is first and foremost to raise kids immersed in agriculture and practice great animal husbandry. We strive to raise breed correct, show quality stock in a way that allows the animals to be healthy and happy. Animals that are not show correct will be stick used to help feed folks locally. We believe that agriculture is agriculture, healthy happy animals are productive ones, buying local is the best way to help one's community and knowing exactly where our food comes from empowers us to make healthy choices.
The Beginning
When Ashley was a little girl, her dream place to live was an old white farmhouse with red barns and a willow tree. Well in November 2011 we moved to the dream farm! We started with one horse and no veggie gardens, minimal flower beds and have grown to more animals than we can count (horses, cats, dogs, chickens, turkeys, goats and a token bunny), 8 raised beds for veggies, an orchard, raspberry patch, blueberry patch, elderberry patch and a greenhouse!
