Hazelnut
French black copper maran mix
🎂 Birthday June 16, 2026
Hazelnut is one of Dalek's sweet babies and our little miracle baby! His journey started with a tough uphill battle. He was incredibly weak from birth... constantly falling over, wobbling, and flipping backward every single time he tried to take a drink. Because he was struggling and couldn't even eat on his own, he spent the first weeks of his life inside our little hospital getting extra care. For a while, we honestly weren't sure he'd make it, but he is a true fighter! Named by clean romance author Deanna Lilly Books, Hazelnut is now well on his way to a full recovery and is proving he has a massive will to live.
The likely parents
Free-range romance means it's an educated guess - here's who we think is responsible:
Because our breeding flock enjoys a free-range lifestyle with multiple heritage roosters and hens, we determine the parents of our chicks by carefully tracking egg traits, chick down colors, leg traits, and genetic inheritance patterns. While we are highly confident in our parentage matches, they are educated determinations rather than DNA-tested guarantees. However, we do guarantee that these crosses carry the genetics to lay a beautiful rainbow basket!
