should be "and is listed as a mutt, and it lays green or blue eggs."
Sorry, I was a lit major, so I am always correcting everything!! ever need a proof reader, let me know!!!
Actually, not to be too picky, but that section would better read:
The Easter Egger chicken is an Americana cross WHICH is listed as a mutt AND lays green or blue eggs.
Also, for the sake of clarity, you may want to put in there where it's listed as a mutt. I looked through the thing and I think it's pretty good, I don't know if ur selling to ppl who know a lot about chickens or what, if they don't know anything about them you might want to clarify a few things. The parts that I thought may need grammatical attention I marked with parentheses, captial letters, and/or *. Good job!!!

My Hens Are Free Range, Pasture Raised, Naturally Fed, Vegetarian Fed, and Local. Fresh Eggs From Henrys Hens.
Information about Pasture Raised eggs below ↓
Nutritional Information:
Most of the eggs currently sold in supermarkets are nutritionally inferior to eggs produced by hens raised on pasture. Thats the conclusion we have reached following completion of the 2007 Mother Earth News egg testing project. WHEN compared to official U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) nutrient data for commercial eggs, eggs from hens raised on pasture may contain:
1/3 less cholesterol
1/4 less saturated fat
2/3 more vitamin A
2 times more omega-3 fatty acids
3 times more vitamin E
7 times more beta carotene

Sustainable Agriculture Practices:
I use a chicken tractor and a fenced pasture and my hens (*) free range when I get home from school. The Chicken(*) (*)Tractor pasture raising system was pioneered by a Virginia *farmer *named Joel Slatin. This system provides the hens with fresh grass and insects to eat, provides a more sanitary environment, fertilizes pasture (aka our lawn), *AND it also provides the hens with fresh air and exercise they would never get in a industrialized farming operation.
Diet:
My hens eat Purina Layena sun fresh blend which is made all naturally and is a vegetarian diet. They also eat grass and insects found in the yard and when free ranging.
Breeds of Chicken:
Most of my hens are heritage (WHAT IS HERITAGE? Just in case u get a dumb customer) or endangered breeds. The Delaware is an endangered old American breed and is on the slow foods list *(what's the slow foods list?) and also the ALBCs *(what's that?) list. The Favorrel*(sp?) is a French laying breed with a beard and feathered feet *AND *IS listed as threatened. The French Maran, *a breed new to the US, lays dark chocolate brown egg *which *are very rare. ** The leghorn is a standard production breed. The Easter Egger chicken is an Americana cross *which is listed as a mutt *and lays green or blue eggs. The Americana is a breed that is believed to have originated in South America and lays blue eggs.
**** Is this how ur planning to end your brochure??? You may want to think of something more conclusive, like, "Although to some people an egg will always just be an egg, there's nothing like home raised produce(or some word along those lines). There isn't anything that can beat the freshness and good taste of a farm fresh egg!!!
Something like that....I dunno....I'll shut up now LOL!!!
