Young hens are just starting to lay. Many folks say that these are the tastiest eggs, and they may well be, as this is the prime of the hen's life: a time when she is healthiest, in her "puberty". The yolk may be a little richer, but I do not know scientific facts on this. Yes, it takes 6 months for a chicken to start laying, and another two months, on the average, to make full-sized eggs. So, now we may begin to see why the cost of eggs continues to rise: We feed the hen for eight months in faith that, in her life-time, she will repay us with her eggs. Each chicken may produce one-half dozen eggs/week, in good conditions and in good health.

These are fresh eggs which have flaws and are good inside. Originally requested for Stacie's dog, Easy. We feed these to our cats, dogs, and chickens. It may have rained a lot and the eggs were stained by the nest material, or a real odd size pops up. Good way to economize and still get free-ranged, Animal Welfare Approved eggs.

These are big eggs from regular healthy brown egg layers. Certain hens just lay bigger eggs. Recipe "Chocolate Mint Banana Bread Recipe.":http://www.mountainvalleygrowers.com/recipechocolatemintbananabread.htm using extra large eggs. The hens lay the eggs in nest boxes in the barn during the day, and then go back out to pick, peck, cluck, and socialize. At night, the whole flock roosts in a huge airy barn, protected from night-time dangers. We try to keep their lives as natural as possible, and have actual tree limbs for some of the roosts. A deep layer of leaves line the roosting area, and the hen's nest boxes.

Specially selected, 6 Natural colors of the Americauna chicken egg shells; the inside is the same as all free-range eggs: golden yellow. Beautiful pastel colored eggs in a round see-through container; pink, blue-green, dark brown, or olive. These beautiful eggs, when boiled, make a lovely display. About our Auracauna Chicken: Very docile, these multi-colored and rare hens are free to live a great life of picking their foods and activities, with plenty of food, water, fresh air, sunshine, and shade. They love to dust-bathe for their health. Stretching out in a sunny spot and warming themselves for a while, even on summer mornings, is a favorite activity. But, once the sun is high, the whole flock pretty much heads for the shady spots to snooze or to scratch up a snack from under the leaves.
