Free Range Chicken Eggs
As
part of an integrated system on our farm we have free range layer hens.
Along with providing us with fresh eggs they help keep the insect and parasite
population down for the sheep. Eggs are available for purchase at the farm
or can be delivered to several locations in the
area.
We obtain all our hens as chicks and raise them in the barn before turning them loose to wander the farm eating all the things that chickens love. We supplement the food that they can find with a small amount of drug free commercial feed each day to ensure a consistent supply of eggs and healthy chickens.
Once they are grown are chickens are never caged or confined. Raised as chick in the barn they consider it their home. They have laying boxes in the barn that they return to to lay in and they also sleep in the rafters of the barn. With the chickens choosing to sleep in the barn and the activity of the livestock guardian dogs we do not have problems with predators attacking the chickens.
We have several breeds of chicken that between them lay white eggs, brown eggs and green eggs. We offer eggs for sale in a rainbow assortment (4 of each color) and as mixed brown and white.
