🥚 Our Flock at Amaysn Acres — The Joy (and Math) of Chickens

At Amaysn Acres, collecting eggs never loses its magic. From the shine of a perfect white Leghorn egg to the surprise blues and greens from our Easter Eggers, every morning feels like a treasure hunt.

This isn’t just breakfast — it’s chicken math.

For those new to the term, chicken math is what happens when you start with a few birds and somehow end up with a small army. It’s not poor planning — it’s destiny. Between the thrill of gathering eggs, the range of colors, and the unique personalities of each breed, keeping the flock small is… impossible.

And with a rooster strutting through the yard, well, the next generation is always on our minds.

🛠 How We Care for Our Chickens

🐣 The Math That Keeps Multiplying

With a rooster in the flock and a rainbow of hens, we always plan for:

• Selecting hens for temperament and productivity
• Rotating breeding for maximum egg color variety
• Hatching chicks in small, social batches

The result? White, brown, blue, green, and olive eggs filling our baskets year-round. More hens than we intended… and exactly as intended.

“One egg today. Dozens tomorrow. That’s chicken math.”
