Laying Hens Information

The baby pullets are so fun to take home when they are only one day old, from the hatchery in the spring to producing eggs in the fall, they are lots of fun! They really have become our pets and most of them have names... Gabriela, T-Rex (she has a tendency to scream at us when we get her eggs), Cookies, Cream, Princess, Pocahontas, Whitey... just to name a few. They lay delicious eggs while having the freedom to forage in fresh air and sunshine. Our chickens get to spend all day outside and eat bugs, grass, weeds, seeds, roots, veggies, flowers & much more to then go into their home to sleep at night. Oh, and don't forget those awesome fresh dirt baths!! We love to pamper our chickens by using nesting herbs. This is a unique mix of all-natural dried herbs and sweet-smelling flowers for chickens. We add the nesting herbs to the coop bedding or nesting boxes to attract our chickens to them. They also help with natural pest control and they make the coop smell amazing! These herbs create a healthier and a more relaxed living environment for our chickens so they can lay lots of yummy, delicious, and healthy eggs.

We give them a fresh-milled, whole grain, supplemental chicken feed that is designed to help our chickens with the nutrition they need for a balanced diet and help support and maintain overall health. They are also offered free choice oyster shell & grit. All eggs are non-GMO and soy free.

Chicken Egg Pricing, Care & Handling

We currently offer 1 dozen/12 large-sized eggs for $8 a dozen. Your eggs will be unwashed unless you specify that you would like washed eggs. Washed eggs do cost extra. If you request washed eggs, we do NOT use bleach to wash them, we use a cleaner called Thieves Fruit & Veggie soak that works beautifully to clean our food. This product is completely plant based and natural, it safely washes away dirt, bacteria, pesticides, and other contaminants from our eggs, so you can enjoy them as nature intended.

UNWASHED EGGS INFO: Fresh farm eggs have what is called a bloom or cuticle. It is an invisible protective membrane over the shell. It seals the egg from oxygen and bacteria. For longest lasting eggs do not wash them until you are ready to eat them. To wash, rinse them carefully in room temperature water without soap. All eggs will be refrigerated when you receive them. Unwashed eggs can last up to 3 months in the refrigerator. If you decide to wash your eggs please be sure to completely dry them before putting them back into their carton.

WASHED EGGS INFO: When you order eggs from us they will be unwashed unless you request washed eggs. Washed eggs can last up to 2 months in the refrigerator. Be sure to stick them in the refrigerator as soon as you can when you get home.

Pro-tip: If you are making hard boiled eggs, the oldest eggs will be the easiest to peel. I use my pressure cooker… place the rack inside, pour 1/2 cup water in, place 6 to 8 eggs on the rack, cook on high pressure for 12 minutes, place directly in cold water, peel & enjoy!
