We raise mostly English & American heritage breed chickens for our eggs, these include Australorp, Buff Orpington, Rhode Island Red, Plymouth Rock, Speckled Sussex, Delaware & Easter Eggers.
Our girls are spoiled, they range freely over the property during the day where they can eat various grasses, legumes & fruits, catch bugs & worms, sunbathe, take dust baths & scratch in the soil. At night, they are secure from predators in their insulated coop. They reward us with great tasting eggs that have a deep yellow/ almost orange yolk.
Our chickens are supplemented with a non-medicated, non-GMO feed which we buy from a local grain mill in Middlefield here in Geauga County, along with vegetables/fruit grown on the farm & the meat trim from our animals. Their beaks are not trimmed, nor are they ever fed antibiotics or vaccinated.
