Free-Range Eggs

Friday is "Fresh Egg Friday" at Flanigan Square and Billy's co-workers snap up the farm fresh eggs.

Thanks for all your support!

Foraging under Snow-Covered Mountains: Our hens are thrilled that spring is in the air!

They’ve moved out from their winter digs and into the greening fields to find Nature’s delectables! Free from their self-imposed confinement (they don’t like walking in the snow) they spend the day scratching and pecking. Many of them make their way into our woods where they may discover some of the same goodies their wild ancestor; jungle fowl, enjoyed.

Our eggs appear in a variety of colors: pinks, tans, lightly tinted, olive green and blue. Any of which can be beautifully speckled from calcium deposits. Commercial egg producers discard these “flawed” eggs for other uses, (flawed is a misconception - they are discarded because they don't meet commercial standards for straight and consistent coloring - brown or white) but speckled eggs are some of our favorites!

This spring we are raising a small flock of Cuckoo Marans to add to our existing laying flock so we can look foward to beautiful chocolate brown eggs in our basket this fall. We can’t wait!

Check out today's eggs. Aren't they beautiful?

Best Wishes, Jules
