Welcome to Rockin K Homestead!
We're a small family homestead just northeast of Amarillo, Texas, where chickens are more than livestock—they're a way of life. Around here, we believe healthy birds, healthy soil, and a little hard work go a long way.
We specialize in pasture-raised chickens, including everything from high end breeding lines to unique ornamentals and backyard egg layers. Our passionate is helping people find the right birds for their unique needs. Every flock is different, and every family has different goals. Whether you're looking for colorful egg baskets, dependable egg production, friendly backyard pets, dual-purpose birds, or a breeding program, we take the time to get to know you and help you choose breeds that are the best fit for your lifestyle, experience, and homestead.
If we don't raise the breed you're looking for, we'll do our best to help you source it through trusted sources we know and respect. Our goal isn't just to sell chickens—it's to be a resource you can count on before, during, and long after your birds come home.
We believe raising chickens shouldn't feel overwhelming. That's why we offer personal, one-on-one guidance and consultations to answer questions, troubleshoot challenges, and help you build a healthy, thriving flock with confidence. Whether you're buying your very first chicks or adding to an established flock, we're here to share what we've learned and help set you up for success.
Our mission is simple: raise strong, healthy birds while caring for the land God has blessed us with. We believe in sustainable homesteading, low-stress animal care, and doing things the right way—even when it's not the easiest way.
Our little slice of Texas is home to chickens, goats, dogs, barn cats, and one spoiled donkey who keeps everyone on schedule. Every animal here has room to roam, fresh air, quality feed, and plenty of attention because we believe healthy animals come from thoughtful care and intentional stewardship.
Thanks for stopping by! We hope you'll follow along as we continue growing Rockin K Homestead and helping families build flocks they'll enjoy for years to come.
We offer a wide variety of chicks throughout our breeding season. Common breeds include Easter Eggers, Olive Eggers, Marans, Swedish Flower Hens, Silkies, and Barnyard Mix (BYM), along many others listed under our breeding stock.
Female chicks are available, any straight-run chicks will always be clearly labeled. Availability changes frequently, so we encourage customers to check our Facebook page for a list of all current availability. Look at our pinned post or availability album.
Our hatching season typically runs from February through September each year. Twice a year, we may offer hens and roosters that do not meet our breeding program standards but are still excellent additions to backyard flocks. Hens start at $25, and roosters vary in price. These available birds will be posted on our Facebook page when offered. Please note, we do not maintain a waiting list.
We are committed to responsible animal placement and only sell to customers who intend to provide proper, humane care. We do not support bird flipping, fighting, or any form of neglect.
At Rockin K Homestead, we believe in supporting our local Amarillo, Texas community and strengthening connections between small farms and families. We work closely with other local producers to encourage responsible, sustainable breeding practices and to help promote healthy, well-raised poultry for backyard flocks.
We are also passionate about education. Our farm offers educational presentations for classrooms and youth groups to help teach the next generation where their food comes from. In addition, we occasionally donate hatching eggs to schools or programs on a first-come, first-served basis when availability allows.
Through our Rockin K Egg Bank, we partner with select nonprofit organizations that serve individuals experiencing homelessness, addiction recovery, and life transitions. This program was created in loving memory of our son and reflects our commitment to offering hope, dignity, and practical support through something as simple as food and new beginnings.

At Rockin K Homestead Farm, we believe in sustainable farming practices that prioritize the health of our soil and the well-being of our animals. One of our practices includes allowing a portion of our flock to free range, meaning they are not kept confined to cages. Our specialty birds are housed in spacious breeding pens to ensure their safety, as they are more vulnerable to predators when free ranging. This also allows us to maintain and guarantee purebred specialty stock.
We offer a wide variety of day-old chicks, baby chicks, juveniles, and hatching eggs in Amarillo, TX. Whether you’re looking for colorful egg baskets, rare breeds, friendly backyard birds, or future breeding stock, we strive to provide healthy, well-started poultry from quality lines. To make your selection easier, Rockin K Homestead offers four categories of birds designed to fit a wide range of goals and budgets:
• Unsexed BYM (Barnyard Mix) – BYM stands for “barnyard mix,” meaning the chicks come from our free-range flocks where multiple breeds may contribute to the genetics. This creates fun, unique, and often beautiful surprises in feather patterns, egg colors, and traits. Parentage can vary, making every chick one of a kind as well as combining the best traits of 2 hardy breeds. Personally, these are our favorite! $
• Sexed Purebreds & Hybrids – These chicks are sourced from trusted, humane hatcheries and breeders that specialize in safely shipping live poultry. These birds are sexed to the best of the hatchery’s ability and include both well-loved pure breeds and productive hybrid lines. Average accuracy on sexed birds is 90%. $$
• Unsexed Purebreds – These chicks come from carefully selected breeding projects using quality genetics sourced from reputable breeders across the country. While not sexed, they are bred to preserve the traits and standards of their respective breeds. These birds are typically best suited for more experienced owners seeking specific breed characteristics. $$$
• Specialty Chicks – Many of these chicks are sourced from trusted shipped-in stock, with a small number hatched here on our farm. They are typically unsexed and most are classified as bantams. We strongly encourage researching each breed before purchasing, as many are delicate. Because of their nature and variability, we cannot guarantee outcomes or success with these chicks and do not recommend them for beginners or children. $$$
Breeds in our flock include: Black and Blue Copper Marans, Rhode Island Reds, Red Sex Link, Golden Sex Link, Easter Egger, Turken (Naked Neck), Speckled Sussex, Ameraucana, Starlight Green Egger, Bielefelder, Buff Orpington, Olive Egger, Barred Rock, Cream Legbar, Welbar, Wyandotte, Black Australorp, Barnevelder, Welsummer, Ayam Cemani, White Leghorn, and Brown Leghorn.
These chickens offer a wide range of traits including brown, blue, green, olive, and tinted egg production, calm temperaments, and excellent foraging ability—making them ideal for backyard flocks and homestead egg production.
This list is provided as a sample of our current and past flock and may not reflect recent additions, changes, or availability.
