Linnea and Jason are wildlife biologists with a combined 14 years of experience raising poultry. We currently have a mix of green queens, wyandottes, orpingtons, easter eggers, and legbars, so we get a mix of blue, green, bluish-green, and brown eggs. Our birds have a large, dry, indoor space to roost and lay eggs, and a very large dry covered run with lots of enrichment (trees, stumps, roosting shelves, scratching medium, a dust bath, and more). We have a couple chicken-eating bears in our neighborhood, so the girls stay safely protected in their run and coop.
They are fed a blend of sprouted grains, spent brewery grains, and partially-fermented organic ‘scratch’ food, along with daily greens, fruits, and vegetables, and supplemented by layer crumbles ad libitum. In the summer they get fed from whatever’s in abundance from our garden. They get sunflower seeds and dried grubs as treats and they have continuous access to fresh, clean water. We have a roll-away egg collection system, which prevents egg pecking and also keeps the eggs nice and clean. Eggs are collected several times daily, washed, and kept refrigerated. We supplement their light during the bench seasons, but taper their light off during the winter to reduce egg production and allows them a natural rest period.

We’ll happily reuse our egg cartons.
