Wayne and Dawn Osborne operate Omega Blue Farms in the Spider Lake area of British Columbia, where their focus is on heritage breeds of chickens and other poultry. Among Omega Blue’s different breeds, is one descended from Easter Island stock which is “about as genetically different as could be possible,” lays blue eggs, and may “offer something unique for disease resistance down the road."
