Our Chickens eat a special diet, formulated exclusively for them by a poultry nutritionist. The diets vary based on age and production stage of the hen, and consist mostly of corn, soy, essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals among other ingredients.

American Humane is one of the oldest and most established third-party animal welfare certifying organizations in the United States.

Generally, brown hens lay brown eggs, and white hens lay white eggs, though this is not always the case. What color egg a hen lays is determined by hen genetics!

Yes, USDA requires all commercially produced eggs to be washed in the processing plant with warm water.

Your eggs could actually be too fresh! The fresher the eggs, the harder they are to peel. Eggs that have been in your refrigerator for longer will peel easier.

Both pulp and plastic egg cartons are sourced from recycled materials! Pulp cartons are sourced from recycled paper, and plastic cartons are sourced from plastic recycling.

Sometimes, it just happens! And other times, it may be related to age of the hen. A hen may ovulate two follicles (yolks) when she is young and just coming into production, or when she is older.

Our fertilizer consists of pure chicken manure! The manure is heat treated to kill any pathogens living in it, and then is pelletized to make it easy to use for your garden.

Our fertilizer is approved for use on organic farms or gardens! Our fertilizer is an excellent source of slow-release nitrogen.
