We are only getting about 9 eggs per day and are currently SOLD OUT. It is normal for hens laying to slow when the daylight shortens so no worries there, but if you need eggs give us a heads up!

Our eggs have been freezing and cracking in the egg stand! Please send us a message if you’d like some eggs for the time being!

Just some fun information!

How an Egg is Formed

The formation of an egg inside a hen is an extraordinary process that takes place in just 24 to 26 hours.

Key Stages
Ovaries: The yolk begins its development as an ovule.
Oviduct (Fallopian tube): The mature yolk passes through.
Fertilization: This can only occur if a rooster is present.
Albumen (egg white): Layers of protein gradually form around the yolk.
Shell: Calcium carbonate builds up to create a strong outer protection.
Cloaca: The completed egg is finally laid.

Structure of the Egg
Shell
– a hard protective barrier.
Shell membranes
– providing an antibacterial defense.
Air cell
– a small pocket that stores oxygen.
Germinal disc
– the starting point of a potential chick.
Yolk
– nutrient-rich and packed with energy.
Albumen (egg white)
– water and proteins that cushion and protect.
Chalazae
– twisted cords that keep the yolk centered.
Egg formation is truly a natural wonder, showcasing both complexity and efficiency in the animal world.

This set up has still been working really well! We now have 30 mature birds laying and the 12 that were in the brooder should start laying in the spring!

When asked how many chickens we have, the answer is always “a few” 😆
