Happy Easter Season - free eggs at the farm stand today while they last.
Here’s a little bit about our girls:
Our chickens are heritage breed girls. “Heritage Breed” - an old-time or non-hybrid breed of chicken. Other terms that are sometimes used are “Heirloom” or “Old-fashioned”. When heritage-breed chicks are hatched, they will genetically be like their parents and do not require growth hormones and antibiotics.
Our land and coops are not treated with pesticides, chemical fertilizers or fungicides. The hens are either free range. They eat non - gmo feed, some treats like left over muffins, herbs, kale, arugula, lettuce, and marigolds, and what nature provides. They live a normal chicken life cycle. They wake at sunrise and go to bed at sunset. They run, scratch, fly and play. Our chickens are happy and healthy and their eggs are wonderful. They give us eggs at their pace. We do have a secret - we give them heat on cold Maine winter days and nights. In return we get eggs all year ‘round.
Since we have many different breeds of hens, they provide us with several different colors and sizes of eggs. The one thing that is the same about all of them is that they are fresh and delicious.
Breeds of Chickens: Welsummer, Maran, Columbian Wyandotte, Delaware, Ameraucana, Appenzeller-Spitzhauben, Cochin, Sultan, Silver Spangled Hamburg, Easter Eggers, Salmon Faverolles, Legbar, Delaware, and White Rock.
