The new batch of Golden Sexlink laying hens are finally settling into their new life here at Little Sprouts. The stress from the move, the diet change, the lighting change, all took a toll on them. For this reason we didn't feel right offering the eggs for sale just yet. Instead we have been watching them, and testing the eggs for quality for the last week. Now we feel comfortable offering the eggs for sale.
The birds are producing a good 6 to 7 dozen eggs per day. By adjusting the light slightly and staying on a high protein feed, I feel confident that we can get that up to 10 dozen eggs per day, even in these cold temperatures.
So, now is the time to start picking up eggs from Little Sprouts Farm. Remember that these are SOY AND CORN FREE, free ranged on pasture, heritage breed eggs. They are truly unlike anything you can find in a local store. Just give us a call, send an email, or drop by during the daytime to give these eggs a try. You will NOT be disappointed!
Follow along our adventure as we make the transition from corporate city life to the world of natural farming. Each day brings a new experience and brings us to a deeper understanding about the life and spirit that made America great. At our farm we do our best to give the animals we raise a natural, free, happy, stressfree lifestyle. Our mission is to learn and share how to manage a farming operation that is both profitable and humane.
