We sell our farm fresh eggs for $6/dozen and $8/18 to help offset feed costs. Pick up is available at our farm at any time or delivery could potentially be arranged in the metro Richmond area at a mutually beneficial location.
We proudly feed Sunrise Farms non-GMO layer feed, non-GMO scratch with black oil sunflower seeds added, black soldier fly larvae treats, and daily free ranging under supervision (we have lots of predators but their coop and netted run is like Fort Knox). They also love their food scraps and we love that nothing goes to waste. We feed their dried egg shells back to them for added calcium and we have been told our shells are some of the strongest out there!
Our eggs are collected daily, refrigerated, and unwashed to retain the protective bloom. They will stay fresh for up to 3 months using this storage method.
We have a flock of 18 hens that enjoy daily free ranging:
Amberlinks
Barnevelders
Barred Rock
Bielefelders
Buff and Light Brahmas
Cream Legbars
Golden Comets
ISA Browns
Lavender Orpington
Silver Laced Wyanndotte
We recently added 3 Welsh Harlequin ducklings (2 hens and 1 drake) to our homestead and are looking forward to duck eggs, which are excellent for baking. We are also enjoying their antics. “The Welsh Harlequin is a lightweight breed weighing 5-5.5 lbs. Welsh Harlequin duck and drake ducklings may exhibit a subtle sex-linked difference in bill color at birth. They are highly adaptable, outstanding layers producing 240-330 white-shelled eggs yearly, and active foragers. They do not truly fly. They do well in both heat and cold if they have suitable housing and access to clean water; they are a relatively healthy breed. They enjoy interacting with people and are not a flighty breed. They are inquisitive and easily trained to free range during the day and come to be put up in the evening. They are one of the quieter duck breeds with the ducks being noisier than the drakes.
