Happy Chickens Lay Healthy Eggs


Our rooster and some of his hens gleaning fallen apples. Chickens with a healthy diet of grain feed, leftover fruits and vegetables, and bugs and other forage food lay healthier eggs. The shells are much harder and the color of the yolks is a dark orange instead of pale yellow.

  2. Yes I have to agree. You never know how good they are till you don't have them any more.
