A combination of a foraged diet and essential feed helps our pasture-raised laying hens meet their nutritional needs. The girls spend their days foraging in the pastures, seeking out native and seasonal grasses, pecking for their next grasshopper, or digging up a worm. Alongside their pasture snacks, they receive an essential feed that consists primarily of corn and soybean meal. The nutritional density and composition of the feed provide the protein and energy our hens need to lay regularly and roam the pasture. The feed also contains paprika and marigold, which, along with their pasture snacks, help the hens produce eggs with deep orange yolks. This feed is developed by an animal nutritionist to ensure the girls receive all the nutrients they need to support their health, active lifestyles, and overall well-being.
