Chickens: the gateway farm animal

After reading The Small-Scale Poultry Flock by Harvey Ussery, we knew we had to get chickens! Starting out with six laying hens helped us realize that we could take on the challenge of raising them, and we soon fell in love with poultry!

Throughout the year, our hens keep us in good supply of the most delicious eggs on the planet (yes, we think they are that good). Their yolks are a lovely deep orange, full of all the benefits of nutritious produce.

What they eat.
Our chickens eat a unique organic blend of wheat, peas, barley, oats, alfalfa hay, mineral, and wild caught herring, grown within an hour of our location.
