Meet Our Hens

Eggs don’t come from a factory! They are made by chickens. More specifically, hens! Living and breathing animals. Each of our chickens has its own personality and story. When starting a flock, you want to find high producers that forage well and can withstand cold winters. But the most important thing to look for is the smile factor. We picked a flock that makes us smile every time we walk out to visit them.
