If you go to their website and scan the carton of their eggs you bought it will tell you what farm they came from. It's a new way of being in touch with where your food comes from. I'm going to investigate them more.
I am already familiar with Vital Farms. I had to buy some eggs this winter, while my son was home from college, and those are the only grocery store eggs I will buy. And only for him. The rest of us wait until the chickens come back into lay, which a couple of them have. When I buy real butter, I buy that brand, too. Pricey, but it’s worth it for the animals and my conscience. I still can’t wrap my head around why people think they should be able to buy eggs for a fraction of a dollar a piece with no regard for the chickens. And dairy milk… Mother Nature made cow milk to grow a darling little calf into a giant heffer. Do humans really need that? At least Vital Farms cows are truly pasture raised. Ok; I’ll get off my soap box now. ❤️
 
Yep I bet! Some of they guys here have worked those 1 on 1 off rotations in the middle east and other not so savoury places.... places I wouldn't go for sure.

OK well I don't need to say be safe - safety over there is seriously poor IMHO....

Safety First Tax
Babies yay!
Trying to get baby chickies to go to bed is like children! All they wanted to do was run amok and bother the big chickies hahaha! Poor Henny was beside herself many times trying to gather them up :)

Yay, babies! ❤️
 
Perdita is not a black chicken, she is a green chicken. Looking at her it is no wonder that I think my black ones are the prettiest.
Under different lighting, that green turns purple and sometimes blue.
Oh, yes! Perdita’s shimmer is very striking. Bejeweled by Taylor Swift pooped into my head. 🤣
 
I am sure none of you are surprised at how happy this makes me. They are definitely integrated (except at night). Somehow Eli’s green doesn’t come through well in photos - she is all shiny green and purple and I love it.
And look at the crop on Bernie. I hope she is OK. I think she is - just stuffing her face with little worms and grass.

Yay to Bernie having friends. ❤️
 
You’re all forgiven for your nataionality… as long as you don’t try to pass off that red tail Hawk scream as an Eagle! 😂❤️ 🇺🇸 but yes, there’s not too many of us international peeps here. I was shocked to find when I came back that you had adopted another Canadian, too. And a Newfie at that! 😉
That Red Tailed Hawk scream that is often passed off is becoming a regular call around here (along with the Red Shouldered Hawk calls… I’ve named them Harold and Henrietta. Sorry, Alex!)
