eggs

1. Are brown eggs or white eggs (or blue eggs) more nutritious?

Short answer: no.

The color of an eggshell is determined by the breed of the hen, not the nutrition of the egg. Brown eggs are laid by breeds like Rhode Island Reds and Plymouth Rocks. White eggs come from breeds like Leghorns. Blue eggs come from Americanas, Legbars, and other "Easter-eggers". Green eggs come from a hen that was born from the union of a blue egg laying chicken and a brown egg laying chicken.

You've decided that you want to hatch some of your own chicks, but don't know where to start. We've got you covered.

The short of it is:

Our chickens roam, scratch, and snack their way around the pasture, and the eggs they lay are as colorful and full of life as they are.

The flock is a fun mix of heritage breeds like Wyandottes, Turkens, and Americanas. Each one brings something different to the egg basket, whether it’s the deep brown shells from the Wyandottes, the quirky charm of our Turkens, or the soft blue eggs from our Americanas. Together, they make up a flock that’s as diverse and down-to-earth as the farm itself.

I wanted to share with yall the research we did on selling eggs in Texas. We are very by the books because it's hard to always assume positive intent when you are meeting people from Facebook or Craig's List for the first time. Therefore, the laws that are meant to protect you, also protect us from those who try to make a quick dollar by exploiting those same laws in court. In those cases, it helps to know the law well.
