Barnyard Personalities

The flock of Merrill Mountain

From dawn foragers to quiet nesters, our forty-two chickens bring constant motion, rich textures, and distinct voices to the mountain homestead.

The Morning Rush

The Bold Foragers

The Quiet Nesters

Watch the flock spill out into the fresh mountain fog as the coop doors open to the damp morning air.

Led by our most adventurous hens, they spend hours scratching through autumn leaves and clover in search of treats.

As the sun dips behind the ridge, they settle into warm wooden boxes, soft clucking filling the cozy interior.
