Layer Hens
Free to Roam & Free to Choose
Our layer Hens come in many varieties and are free to roam about the entire property without restriction. At night they are kept inside our hen house where they are safe from predators and pest. They are given the option while in the coop to enjoy the Non-GMO layer feed provided by Kraut Creek.
Color of the Egg
The Chickens lay a variety of colors depending on the breed.
Pest Control
To prevent mites and other bug problems, chickens will dig small holes and dust themselves.
Friendly and Loving
From arrival, the chickens are handled with care and provided with the occasional treat. Handling the chickens in this manner makes them friendly and trusting around other animals that aren't natural predators.
The Coop
At night the Chickens will naturally return to their home (the coop). This, provided with automatic doors and multiple layers of fencing prevents predators at night from causing any problems.
Where you see them
Our chickens are released daily to roam the entire property. this helps with bug control and gives them the freedom to enjoy life as they provide many eggs throughout the years.
Collecting Eggs
Each evening, we collect the eggs that have been laid in the layer boxes. Sometimes you find eggs in random places throughout the day.Â
