Welcome to Skyline Hill Poultry

We are a small poultry farm located in Wayne, Wisconsin, nestled in the rolling hills of the Kettle Moraine. Our chickens free range, spending their day eating bugs and plants, taking dust baths and exploring the hillside. While our chickens are not fed an organic diet nor are vegetarian, their layer feed is provided by a local feed mill located about 10 miles from our farm. Take a look around our site and feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

First Post...

We have been raising chickens on our nano-farm since 2007. What's a nano-farm, you ask? The dictionary definition for "nano" is "a combining form with the meaning very small, minute".

Since we live on a small acreage, it didn't seem right to even refer to our place as a "farm", per se. But adding the term "nano" seemed appropriate when comparing our place to farms in our area.

We started our flock with the Production Red breed. In 2009, we expanded to include Barred Rocks. This summer we expanded further with Gold Stars and our first set of meat chickens that will be ready to butcher in about 3 weeks.
