Rare & Exotic Ducks & Chickens
About Our Farm
Welcome to Funky Feathers Fancy Poultry Farm. Thanks for visiting our website.
If you are not familiar with us yet, we started out in 2001 with 2 ducks and 2 chickens. Since then we have expanded to approximately 100 birds, mostly rare, hard to find exotics. We have ducks and chickens only. We are located on a 14 acre farm on Maryland's Eastern Shore, 30 miles South of Cambridge, in a little town called Bishops Head.
We are a family owned and operated farm, not a big commercial hatchery. Our farm is owned by Richard and managed by Stephanie. I, Stephanie, operate the farm at home. Richard helps me with the heavy work.
We are licensed through the state of MD. We are NPIP certified (#51-370) . Meaning our birds are free from Pullorum/Typhoid and AI We get them tested for A.I. (Bird Flu) every 90 days. I plan on showing our birds at least 1 time in 2009, in Harrington, DE. We will be at the Delmarva Poultry Fanciers' Show in March and not the Delaware State Fair in July. Update- we will no longer be showing, due to our best Silkie being stolen at the Delmarva show.
We are members of the Delmarva Poultry Fanciers' Club, The American Silkie Bantam Club, The APA and the ABA.
We pride ourselves in keeping our our birds healthy and happy. I spend 2-4 hours each day feeding, watering, and cleaning out my pens. We treat all our birds like pets, and give them treats every so often. Everyone who has visited our farm has said we have the cleanest poultry pens they have ever seen.
Here is our list of the breeds we offer:
Ducks-Crested Blue Swedish, Crested White Pekin, White Mallards (from Hatchery), Black East Indies (from hatchery), and Call Ducks in Crested White and Butterscotch. Sorry, we no longer raise Mandarins. No Wood Ducks either.
Chickens-
Excellent quality (GORGEOUS) Bearded Silkies in Buff and Blue/ Splash. We bought our breeding stock from some of the top breeders in the country, who do not want their names or bloodlines advertised, so we respect that. Please see our Silkie pages.
We sell most of our birds & all of our eggs online at online poultry auctions, one called Eggbid.com and the other is ovabid.com. Our Eggbid username is "Birdy42". Our ovabid username is "rusty57". Look for our auctions, we ship eggs & birds anywhere in the US. We ship our birds USPS Express Mail, and our eggs USPS Priority Mail. Eggs usually arrive in 2 days. I pack the eggs very carefully, each egg wrapped individually in bubble wrap, and floated in shredded newspaper which I cut & shred myself. I have been told by fellow eggbidders that I am the best egg packer on eggbid. Although the post offices can be very rough on the eggs, tossing and kicking the boxes around. I have complained about this to no avail. Therefore, once the eggs leave my hands your hatch rate is out of my control. I do guarantee fresh, safely packed eggs. I always send extras if available for fast payment (Instant PayPal), sometimes LOTS of extras! :) We also sell locally, and welcome you to our farm. Just email or call and we will give you the address for Mapquest. We do not sell eggs outside the auction, period.
Most of our breeders are show quality, some are not. Just ask. Every bird we have is pictured here on the website.
Thanks for your interest in our birds.
