WHO WE ARE
About Us
We settled in Strasburg, Colorado, and began our self-sufficient journey to step away from the demands of city life and corporate jobs and embrace a simpler, though definitely harder-working, homestead lifestyle. Our chicken journey began with a simple goal: to provide our family with quality eggs and become less dependent on the supermarket. The addiction took hold quickly! First came the obsession with collecting all the beautiful egg colors: blue, brown, white, cream, green, olive, aqua, sky blue, chocolate, speckled green, speckled tan, and even pink.
​
Once we had discovered the breeds that produced our favorite egg colors, our fascination grew to include feather colors, unique characteristics, breed preservation, and the conservation of extremely rare poultry breeds. As our flock grew, we began raising additional poultry for families interested in starting or expanding their own flocks. This helps us offset the cost of caring for the poultry we maintain here on our farm while allowing us to share our passion and experience with others.
Meeting families and helping them learn how to successfully raise poultry quickly became something we truly enjoyed. We especially love helping families who are just beginning their chicken-keeping and permaculture journeys.
​
Feeding Our Poultry Differently
As our knowledge of homesteading grew, I began questioning why we would raise our own food-producing poultry only to feed them the same conventional pellets used in large-scale poultry operations. After extensive research and experimentation, we developed our own Serenity Sprouting Mix. We incorporate whole foods, sprouts, fermentation, and fodder into the way we feed our poultry and livestock. We source quality ingredients, including products from Scratch and Peck, and use our sprouting mix to create nutritious feed through fermenting, sprouting, and growing fodder. These methods allow us to provide a greater variety of whole foods while also helping us manage the cost of feeding our flock and livestock.
It is one of the aspects of our homestead that makes us especially proud.
​
A Purpose for Every Part of the Homestead
We take a permaculture approach to our farm. We look at the plants, poultry, livestock, and people who make up our homestead and consider how each can contribute to a healthy, sustainable system. Our goal is not simply to raise animals. We strive to practice responsible poultry and livestock husbandry, enrich the lives of the animals in our care, responsibly share what we produce with our local community, preserve and appreciate unique poultry breeds, and continue moving toward greater self-sufficiency.
​
Rooster Intake Program
One of the challenges we discovered through raising poultry was how difficult it can be for families when a rooster unexpectedly becomes part of their flock. A chick may turn out to be male when a family was expecting hens. A flock may eventually have more roosters than it can reasonably accommodate. Families may move, encounter local restrictions, or simply reach a point where their circumstances change.
We recognized that families sometimes need a responsible option when they can no longer maintain an eligible rooster.
That led us to create our Rooster Intake Program, providing families with an option to bring eligible roosters to our farm when they are no longer able to keep them. Our goal is to provide responsible intake and placement while maintaining appropriate flock management and biosecurity practices on our farm.
​
Our Passion
Our passion for poultry, livestock, sustainable living, and helping families has driven us from the beginning and continues to shape the future of our homestead.
We believe that responsible livestock and poultry husbandry should be about more than simply producing a product. It is an opportunity to learn, teach, conserve, connect with nature, and build a more self-sufficient way of life.
Whether you are starting or expanding a small poultry flock, interested in a unique poultry breed, looking for ways to improve your homestead's sustainability, or simply want to learn more about life on a working homestead, we are happy to share what we have learned along the way.

Welcome to Serenity Sprouts, where homesteading is a way of life, and every animal has a purpose.

Poultry Health & Vaccination: Marek's disease HVT vaccination is available as an optional service at hatch. Families may choose vaccination based on their flock goals and management practices. Vaccination is an important tool for reducing the risk and severity of certain poultry diseases, but no vaccination provides a guarantee against exposure, infection, or disease. Vaccination does not make a bird completely immune to all disease risks.
As with poultry from any breeder, hatchery, or farm, we cannot guarantee that a chicken will remain free from all infectious diseases throughout its life. Disease risks exist throughout the poultry industry and environment, and individual birds can respond differently to vaccination and other disease-prevention measures. We encourage families to do their own research and flock management goals when making vaccination decisions.
Biosecurity: Good biosecurity helps reduce disease risk. We recommend quarantining new birds for at least 30 days before introducing them to an established flock and maintaining appropriate sanitation practices. Families should regularly clean and disinfect poultry equipment and housing and practice good hygiene when caring for their birds. Our goal is to provide families with clear information about vaccination and biosecurity so they can make informed decisions for their own flocks.

Health Care & Responsibility
Families assume responsibility for the ongoing care, health, and well-being of animals once they leave Serenity Sprouts. Families should inspect their animal at pick-up and ensure they are prepared to provide appropriate care, housing, nutrition, and ongoing health monitoring. Health care and veterinary care choices are the responsibility of the family after the animal leaves Serenity Sprouts. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or specifically stated in writing, purchases are final and we do not offer refunds.
Chicken Quality Expectations
While many of our birds have done well in 4H and other shows, we do not represent that every bird we sell is show quality or is flawless. You should receive birds that can be the foundation for a breeding program that with enough time and skill can produce show-quality birds. You should also realize that the rarer the breed, the more likely you are to encounter problems related to inbreeding. For some breeds and varieties that we sell, the global breeding population is threatened. We cull for obvious defects like crooked toes, scissor beak, but low fertility, low egg production, low disease resistance, and other challenges are not uncommon with extremely rare breeds. If you encounter these challenges, you will need to address them with your own breeding plan. Crossbeak occurs more often in Easter Eggers and Ameraucana breeds. You should expect birds that reflect the fundamental attributes of the breed. You should not expect a cosmetically perfect bird. In fact, you should expect to find some defects in virtually every bird you raise. Just as every child is not destined to become a supermodel, every bird is not destined to win ribbons at shows. Only a tiny fraction of chickens conforms to their breed standard in all respects. we take pride in providing healthy, quality chicks to our customers. While we sell chickens hatched at our facility, we may occasionally source chicks from reputable third-party breeders to fulfill customer orders. We also offer the purchase of school hatched chicks that originate from our eggs.
