What’s Growing at The Farm

Chickens at The Farm

The chickens are adjusting well to their new home at the coop and are almost fully grown. They will lay their first eggs this Fall, a positive step towards eggs being available for restaurants and members. These first eggs are not usable but signal that the chickens are ready for artificial eggs to be placed in the coop. Artificial eggs encourage hens to produce their own eggs in the future. Farmer Shane stated that “once the chickens start laying eggs, they just never stop!”

The Farm will also have four new chicks, to be introduced to the coop later this Fall. The Farm currently has three breeds of chickens that all lay different color eggs. With four breeds of chickens in the coop, egg-laying season will bring an assortment of colors!
