Our Chickens and Their Eggs
Chickens at Brood Farm
We love chickens at Brood Farm. They were the first working animals we brought home. They're beautiful in their variety of colors and patterns. They're entertaining to watch as they peck and scratch and explore. And they're an amazingly productive part of a whole farm system.
Egg Production
Fresh Eggs at Brood Farm
Brood Farm is home to over 100 happy, healthy hens. Our mixed flock of hybrid and heritage breed hens are naturally raised, pastured, free range, and antibiotic-free. They have constant access to fresh forage as they move all over the farm with their wagon and protective electric net fencing. Our Black Star, Red Star, Araucana, Brown Leghorn, Buff Orpington, Barred Rock, Dominique, and Wyandotte hens lay brown, white, and blue-green eggs that we think are the Best.Eggs.Ever.*

Most Frequently Asked Questions About Brood Farm Eggs
*"Best.Eggs.Ever." is just a fun way of saying we're proud of these eggs, not an actual claim relative to any other egg. They are a good, wholesome, pastured, local food. We intend to claim no more, and certainly no less, than that.
