Happiness is.... Chickens.

So true, so true. We are absolutely adoring our chickens and the notion of backyard farming! The hens delight us with their ever interesting antics, and provide us with the most delicious and healthy eggs we could ask for. My one regret is not getting a bigger coop! With the interest in grass fed free range eggs, we wish we had more to share with others.

 

And I thought I was getting a large coop in this first place. I should have heeded the many blogs and books I have read on the subject that claimed no matter how many chickens you start with, you will want more, so plan accordingly with a larger coop! They were right....

 

This is what we look forward to on a daily basis. Mmmmm. I have read that grass fed chickens lay eggs with higher omega-3's, lower cholesterol than any non pastured egg on the market. I'm convinced its true. They taste great too!
