What We Offer

Humble Hatchery specializes in Kikiriki (Puerto Rican micro-bantam chickens) sourced from breeders in Puerto Rico and developed through an intentional breeding program.

  • True micro size and structure

  • Unique traits (naked neck, frizzle, crested/top hat)

  • Preservation of Puerto Rican lineage

  • Small-batch, selective breeding

Each pairing is purposeful—not mass production.

Why Humble Hatchery

This is a science-based breeding program built on experience, data, and ethics.

  • Bachelor’s degrees in Biology & Secondary Education

  • Master of Science in Biological Sciences

  • Background in science education and research

  • Author of Hatch Like a Scientist

I specialize in incubation and hatch success across multiple poultry breeds.

Kikirikis are a living expression of genetics, combining extreme size with remarkable variation.

Preserving Puerto Rican Lineage

My breeding stock originates from Puerto Rico, allowing me to:

  • Maintain authentic Kikiriki genetics

  • Preserve true micro characteristics

  • Contribute to responsible conservation

At the same time, I embrace the diversity that makes this breed so unique.

Proven Hatch Performance

  • ~85% average hatch rate (local, non-shipped eggs)

  • ~60% average hatch rate (shipped eggs)

Shipping introduces variables outside breeder control.

Hatching eggs—especially shipped eggs—will always involve risk.

Shipping & Packaging

Every egg is packaged with extreme care:

  • Individually bubble wrapped

  • Secured in foam shipper or carton

  • Double boxed for protection

Once eggs leave my hands, shipping conditions are outside my control. Tracking information is provided.

About the Breeder

I grew up in Southeast Houston, spent 10 years in Austin, and returned home to raise my family in Humble, Texas.

I’ve always loved animals but never considered myself a traditional “farm girl.” I’m a science educator with a background in biology, and Humble Hatchery reflects that balance—science, curiosity, and respect for the animals I raise.
