Where do good eggs
come from? Happy Chickens.
Hi there! I’m Mama H and today, I’ll be your tour guide. Try to keep up as we journey through the henhouse and to the processing facility so you can experience the love we put into our chickens and eggs, including what we eat and how we live.
How we live.
Everyone needs a house to feel safe. But hens need extra protection from hawks, foxes and diseases that humans can carry. Some of our houses have a front porch with access to the outside, and some are completely enclosed. Enclosures are also good for controlling foreign bacteria and diseases.
As long as we have the space we need to strut, flap and socialize, we’re good. The best houses have space for us to fly and dirt floors for us to scratch on and give ourselves a good dust bathing.
What we Eat.
The better we eat, the better our eggs. That’s why good hens eat responsibly-sourced feed. To lay organic eggs, we eat organic feed. To lay nutrient-enhanced eggs, our feed is altered slightly so we lay eggs that are richer in vitamins, minerals and Omega-3’s.
Speaking of, we hens love having a special place to lay our eggs. Some facilities offer an area that’s shielded by rubber curtains to give the hens more privacy with a slightly darker and quieter area.
From the nesting area, eggs can be collected by hand. Or they can get a little help from gravity and roll onto a slow-moving conveyor belt. The conveyor belt gently takes the eggs to the processing facility to be washed.
