Fresh chicken eggs from happy backyard Hens
We have twenty two hens, a rooster, and two geese in our backyard flock. Winter has arrived and the ice is getting thicker on the pond.
We often have a short waiting list for eggs but typically can supply you with a dozen at a time.
Since we don't have a self-serve option, please check with us before you make a trip.

Our eggs are unwashed, meaning the "bloom" which naturally coats the outside of the shell remains intact to prevent bacteria from getting inside the shell, and reduces moisture loss from the egg. We wipe off visible debris when collecting them.
We have 22 laying hens, 1 rooster, and 2 barnyard geese. We get a mix of egg colors ranging from light to dark brown, speckled, cream, grey, blue, olive, light green, or even pink. It is difficult to know who is laying what, but the list below indicates the breeds we have, and the colors that they are supposed to produce.
Our hens include:
- 1 Silver Laced Wyandotte (light brown eggs)
- 1 White Silkie Bantam (small cream eggs)
- 2 Black Copper Maran / Rhode Island Red mix (dark brown eggs)
- 1 Splash Ameraucana (blue eggs)
- 1 Steele Egger (blue eggs)
- 1 Wheaten Maran (dark brown eggs)
- 1 Golden Cuckoo Maran (dark brown eggs)
- 3 Buff Orpington (brown eggs)
- 2 Light Brahma (brown eggs)
- 2 Whiting True Green (olive green eggs)
- 3 ? Eggers or Welsummers (light green, or green-grey eggs)
- and a couple barnyard mix!
Our geese are:
- 1 Toulouse named Lucie. (ginormous white eggs)
- 1 Embden named Emmie. (also ginormous)
The Food and Drug Administration requires eggs to remain refrigerated.
Our hens are actively laying! We collect eggs each day, brush them off, and pack them in clean cartons labelled with the packing date. These cartons go straight into the refrigerator, and then to you.
Unwashed eggs will last at least two weeks unrefrigerated, and three months if refrigerated.
