Black and white 1 lionhead sheep
So, in a nutshell, that's our farm here! Why "black sheep" when i dont raise sheep? Well, that's a play on words! ? (But we will be adding Starsky and Hutch, 2 icelandic sheep this spring for fiber) So if you are interested in eggs for your fridge or incubator, chicks, or started pullets then please consider us! We are located in South Haven in Southwest lower Michigan. We also have 13 bunnies we rescued, 12 of which we are trying to find furrever homes for. As of now, we have 3 large breed dogs, 2 French toulouse geese, 1 golden hybrid 300 laying duck, 2 pekin ducks, 6 rouen ducks, 2 muscovy ducks, a mixed flock of laying hens who lay blue/brown/cream/white eggs, 27 Delaware chicks, 16 ameraucana chicks, and a breeding pair of white faced black spanish chickens. So I raise poultry for eggs for personal use and sale, as well as 2 endangered species chicken breeds for chicks and hatching eggs to help do my part to save those species. I couldn't save all of the endangered breeds, so I decided to focus on two. I moved from our lake house in Battle Creek to a small hobby farm in South Haven and started my work. I didnt realize so many heritage breeds were in danger of extinction! So, I decided to breed endangered species heritage chickens to help save them from extinction. As I was doing this, I stumbled across The Livestock Conservancy's website and found out most of my chicks were endangered species heritage chickens. So I got some chicks, ducklings and goslings to raise for pets and eggs. After my husband died, I decided to not wait another second in doing things that mattered to me.
I moved to Michigan with my husband and two sons from Arizona in 2019, one month before my husband's sudden death.
I grew up on a hobby farm in Arizona and was raised by an Iowa farm girl. My name is Amber Hodge, and I am a 100% disabled veteran (Navy & Army) and widow of a 100% disabled veteran. Black Sheep Heritage Farm - A little bit about our farm.
