Does Tyler Farm sell eggs? How often are eggs collected, and what is the process for handling them?Yes! Tyler Farm sells fresh eggs from our pasture-raised chickens. Our chickens are free to roam and forage for insects and grasses, resulting in eggs that are nutrient-dense and delicious. We also sell fresh turkey eggs. We collect fresh eggs on a daily basis. Once the eggs have been collected, we carefully wash and date them. All of our eggs come from only from healthy, happy, and well-cared-for chickens and turkeys. So, you can rest assured that you are getting the freshest and high-quality eggs available when you shop at Tyler Farm.

If the turkeys aren't free-range, how does Tyler Farm ensure their well-being?While they may not be completely free range, we still prioritize our turkeys comfort and well-being in their living arrangements. At Tyler Farm, we strive to provide our birds with the highest quality of life possible, ensuring they are comfortable, healthy, and happy. Therefore, we ensure that they are provided with a comfortable and spacious outdoor enclosure. Our staff monitors them closely to observe their health and encourage their physical activity. We believe in treating our animals with respect and care by using natural, responsible farming practices.

How big do Babydoll sheep get?At Tyler Farm, the rams are typically 22-24 inches tall and can weigh up to 125 pounds. The ewes, on the other hand, are around 20-23 inches tall and weigh approximately 75 pounds. It's worth noting that even when they're fully grown, these sheep are still smaller than a German Shepherd Dog, making them perfect for those looking for smaller, more manageable livestock. At Tyler Farm, we take pride in raising sheep that are not only healthy and happy but also perfectly-sized for small-scale farming or backyard homesteading. With their manageable size and friendly demeanor, they're a great fit for families, hobbyists, and farmers of all skill levels.

What's the history of Babydoll Sheep?In 1780, John Ellman from Glynde, England, located in the South Down hills of Sussex County, took the local sheep known as Southdowns and systematically selected, developed and standardized them into what we now recognize as the Babydoll Southdown. It is believed that the breed reached the United States in 1803. In 1986, Robert Mock began a search for sheep with the original blood lines that conformed to the original Southdown of the 1700s. After extensive searching, a total of 350 of these miniature sheep were located. To distinguish these small sheep from the larger modern-era Southdown, they were officially named Olde English Babydoll Southdowns.
-
Are there any clubs for babydoll sheep?Yes! There are several clubs dedicated to babydoll sheep and their owners. The American Babydoll Sheep Breeders Association (ABSBA) is a popular choice, as it offers an array of resources to help owners and breeders of babydoll sheep.
