We have 50+ layers with 4 roosters, 7 Guinea, 10 ducks and 1 goose. We produce fiber through our Alpacas that is used in making various products. We do not use chemicals on our farm and we administer all animal health ourselves with an occasional vet's help when needed.

At Featherznest we welcome visitors for farm tours by appointment, occasionally we will attend craft and farmers markets plus offer animals for church's and organizations for occasions they deem for teaching and informational services. If you have such a need  we are open to attend with proper notice and planning.

Our herd of Alpacas and all our farm family are just that, family, they each have their own personality and each have a name not a number, each one holds a place in our heart and serve a purpose to make our farm self sufficient. If you have any questions about Alpacas or Featherz Nest give us a call, we are Ron and Cindy Richardson, hope you have a great day.

Our herd is adjusting and have spent most of their time in the hay bales with our two guard dogs, Bella and Blue. The low tonight should be around 40 with a high around 40 Thursday and 20 for a low Friday evening. The Alpacas are sheared in April of each year and by December have a good coat built up so they are warm and toasty. The entire herd have been prancing and dancing the last couple day's and seem happy and content.
