Eggs are $ 3.50.- per dozen.

Pre-Order only (at least two days ahead)

No Eggs available at the time

I will be sure to let everyone know on the blog, when I have Eggs again.

Orders are filled, in order received. Sometimes there is a waiting list, since we're not chicken farmers/egg producers, but only keep a relatively small flock for fun and pets. Our eggs are in high demand, that's why we have to limit orders to two dozen maximum per order. This way everyone gets some eggs at a reasonable time. You're always welcome to put in your next order at time of pick up. Thanks for understanding.

About the chickens' nutrition and lifestyle

Our Layer Chickens are hatched by us, and have not been fed Antibiotics or Hormones. The layers are in an outside pen with mini-pasture option (small, but they love it). They are in a fenced area, for their own protection. No chemicals of any sort there. Just our lovely, live manure-spreaders.

They do get Layer pellets and oats from CCC, and cracked corn from there, as well as from a farmer friend. During produce season they get lots of vegetables, in the winter they have to settle for less, and cooked. I'm striving for the healthiest diet possible, not only because it goes in the eggs, but also to have the chickens live a healthy and long life. We don't butcher them, so please don't ask for meat.

Supplements: they help themselves to their eggs, and I give them Oyster shells as needed. This makes the egg shells a little harder to crack open. But they still love eggs. First come, first serve.

As it is, they stopped laying since the raccoon killed several, coming inside the closed coup at night, through a slightly warped overhead door. That's why no eggs right now. Takes a while to get over that.

We have a baby-monitor out there now, reinforced the coup, barred the screen and overhead, plus a life trap set at night to make it safer. We're also forced to look into overhead netting. A Hawk got our Silky rooster in the "mini-pasture pen" shortly before that.

Free Range sounds great, but around here, it's not such a good thing if you're a chicken.

The young hens are in another coup by the house, but they're not laying yet.
