We have a flock of 17 hens of several heirloom breeds. They spend their days roaming our little farm in Middlebury, keeping the grass mowed and the bugs in line. They're happy chickens and they lay some delicious eggs! Since there are so many breeds, we get several sizes and different shades of brown and white.

Why the differenty colors? The different breeds of chickens lay different color eggs and we keep a variety of chickens in our portable houses. The hens are enjoying the spring light and have a bounty of eggs for all of our customers. We just received our shipment of spring grain from Organic Valley Grain, NY and it is a wonderful mix of corn, oats, crabmeal and soy. They enjoy a side offering of wheat purchased from a local wheat grower, cracked corn from Green Mountain Grain, Calcium chips from Bourdeaux Brothers and of course (their favorite)a daily offering of horse manure from Nick's draft horses. All of this creats the beautiful orange yolk seen in the picture. It won't be long, though, before the houses are pulled out to pasture and the hens will be basking in the glorius sun and scratching at the lush pastures!
