When we got our first dozen Rhode Island Red chickens (courtesy of my son-in-law, Jim) we knew we wanted to keep the chickens in the most humane manner. John built a coop for them to sleep and nest but in the morning the doors are open and the chickens scamper outside. Our customers get their eggs from the farm where they’re laid and see exactly how our chickens live: basking in the sun while roaming the pasture, yard, gardens and even our deck! The eggs taste better and are better for you.
A few egg facts…
The color of an egg shell has nothing to do with the hen's diet, but is indicative of the type of breed of the chicken laying the egg. Our Ameraucanas lay various shades of green and blue eggs.
It takes a hen approximately 25 hours to produce an egg and she lays her egg during day light, or when a coop light remains on.
