Happy Hens lay healthy eggs.
Lots of fresh air, sunshine, greens, fresh water and organic grains in their feed mix supplemented with certified organic kelp meal for their vitamins & minerals ... all of that ensures healthy eggs. Just what I like to feed my family. With the extra we have to sell, you can feed your family healthy food too.
The bright yellow yolks attest to the fact that our layers have free-run of their range. We have noticed though that the yolks in the white eggs do not seem to be as bright yellow, yet they are in the same range & getting the same feed as the brown egg layers, so they're just as healthy -- perhaps they're just not as suited for real farm living??
We have found it difficult to get brown layers, thus the whites. Perhaps we'll need to consider raising our own brown layers from day 1?? Now that would be a whole new venture for which we're not really set-up ... we'll see.
We noticed too that the white ones don't have as nice of colour. Even the brown hens are gorgeous compared to the white ones (sorry girls, but it's true!).
