Free range means what it sounds like, which is during most times of the day and year, our hens are free to roam outside as they please. This is very different from Cage Free, which sounds good, and is better than being in a tiny cage, but still basically means that you are in a massive warehouse of a barn with hundreds of thousands of other hens, in floor to ceiling caged enclosures, with no access to the outdoors. So not exactly idyllic.

We do have to ensure that our free-range hens are safe from predators and disease from wild birds with a peripheral fencing to our farm. We avoid outdoor access to the bird incase of bad or extreme weather conditions. We love our hens! We try every bit to make them happy.

NO

This practice was adopted by factory farms to deal with the constant filth and disease that is their chicken filled warehouses. They will typically treat healthy hens with antibiotics as a prophylactic measure.

Our barns are airy, uncrowded, clean, and safe. For disease control we treat our hens with natural medication (herbs & natural ingredients like Ginger, Garlic, Jaggery etc.). we do not compromise on our farming practices and biosecurity comes first! Our top priority at farm is to keep the hens happy & healthy!

WE DO NOT! And the use of hormones is illegal for anyone raising poultry. Unfortunately, that is not the case today!

Egg shell color is determined by the breed of hen and is often related to the color of the feathers over the hen’s ears. Brown hens, like we have, typically lay brown eggs and white chickens lay white eggs (although there are a few breeds of white chickens with brown ear-feathers that lay brown eggs).

Note that the shell color is not related to the nutrition or quality of the egg inside.

Natural fluctuations in yolk color can be due to flock age, the weather, the time of year, and even flock location. The bugs & the wildflowers that the hens peck at also can play a part in the yolk color because they increase the amount of protein in their diet. Each hen is unique, and their eggs typically reflect that as well.

We routinely check our eggs for color and that they are generally much darker than caged, commodity eggs, representing their more natural and varied diet, but sometimes there are lighter yolks as well due to all these variables.
