Meet the Farm
Behind the hatching eggs is a working farm, one pair of hands, and a lasting commitment to heritage poultry.
Ancestral Poultry · Preserving Living Bloodlines
Hello, I'm Candace.
I operate Breezy Bird Farms myself here in southern Manitoba. Most days, I'm far more likely to be in the breeding pens, tending to the birds or gathering eggs than in front of a camera. There is a lot of work behind every parcel that leaves the farm, and I take that responsibility personally.
Since establishing Breezy Bird Farms in 2011, I've worked with rare and traditional poultry that deserve to remain part of our future. I've learned that beautiful birds are only one part of the picture. Health, vitality, structure, temperament and the ability to maintain useful bloodlines matter just as much.
I love the history these breeds carry, but I also love the everyday reality of caring for them. Poultry has brought me a great deal of joy and has been one of my greatest teachers.
Care is part of the breeding program.
There is no single measure of a good breeding bird. The decisions made over time matter.
Healthy, active flocks
Daily observation, suitable housing and attentive care are part of the work. Birds are living animals first, never simply an inventory number.
Heritage with purpose
I look beyond appearance when selecting breeding birds, paying attention to useful qualities and the continuity of established bloodlines.
Hands-on, every day
From breeding decisions and egg collection to packaging, the farm's small scale keeps me close to the details.
The seasons shape the work.
Our Canadian summers are short, and the needs of the flocks change throughout the year. The daily routine adapts with the weather, the breeding pens and the birds themselves.
During warmer months, I spend time gathering suitable wild greens and growing herbs and vegetables to add variety to the birds' care. Those quiet, practical jobs may never appear in a product description, but they are an important part of farm life.
What matters to me is not producing as many eggs as possible. It's caring for the birds and maintaining a thoughtful breeding program over the long term.

Hatching eggs are a living biological starting point, so preparation, communication and realistic expectations are all important.
Care for the flock

Handle eggs thoughtfully

Hatching involves natural variation and transport factors beyond any farm's control. The Hatching Egg Resource Centre offers practical preparation and incubation resources.
The birds are the heart of the farm.
