[Shelties] [Miniature Horses] [Chickens and eggs]

 

True free range eggs. The Godiva Chocolate of the egg industry. Something you will not find on a supermarket shelf!!

 

Older pictures. We now have some buff and white cross breed hens and black cross breed hens and a pair of quaint silky roosters. A white and a red. We also have our hen mascot, a bantam hen, Mille Fleur d Uccle.

 

Have you ever seen the yolk of a naturally raised, free range hen egg? That deep dark golden orange color, not the pale yellow of cage raised or barn raised store bought eggs. I have heard wonderful comments from people who have purchased my eggs and the difference in not only the taste and texture of them but in the wonderful color they bring to baked goods. Once you have tasted a true free range egg you will not go back to the blah cage raised hen eggs.

Aberdale's chickens are 100% naturally raised and naturally housed free range happy hens. A happy hen produces wonderful eggs. Have you ever seen a hen scratching around in the dirt, finding something truly delicious to eat and call all the other hens around her over for a looksee before she gobbles it down?? Have you ever seen a flock of hens having a dust bath an then bask around on their sides enjoying the suns rays? These are my free range hens. Doing what hens were meant to do and actually enjoying life!!

Our small flock of 15  assorted hens are allowed free choice scratch grains and corn and full time access to the entire farm. This allows them to wander about at their own will where ever they decide they want to go, eating what ever they decide they would like to eat, occasionally enjoying some dinner left overs or crusts of bread or tomato scraps or apples (they LOVE apples), looking for tasty morsels that go into the makeup of their delicious eggs.

Eggs contain the highest quality food protein known. It is second only to mother's milk for human nutrition.
 I have only free range some purebred some mixed breed hens who have been kept and raised for their natural hardy, docile nature and wonderful egg producing abilities. Raised the way they were meant to be raised. Yes we even have a rooster, kept for his docile nature around not only humans and dogs and cats but for being non confrontational around other roosters as well and the watchful eye and care he gives his hens and chicks. With a mother hen and her chicks wandering at their own free will. Naturally hatched and naturally raised. These hens have never seen the inside of a cage and are given free access to a chicken coop for their evening roost. Free choice fresh water and supplemented with scratch grains and corn.
Because of their excellent treatment our hens produce a bounty of bright, colorful eggs that defy description in flavor.

Our free range eggs contain only about half as much cholesterol, are up to twice as rich in vitamin E, and are two to six times richer in beta carotene (a form of vitamin A). For essential omega-3 fatty acids (vital for optimal heart and brain function), free-range eggs average four times more than factory eggs.

Once you savor our eggs, you will never go back to any other eggs because you can taste the difference. Well informed customers know what a farm raised fresh egg should look and taste like.

(this hen was a rescue and came with no feathers on her body in the middle of winter, needless to say she has become quite the pet)
 

Free range hen eggs available in limited quantities.

Occasionally through the summer when I have a hen go broody I will have some extra free range chicks available as well.
