Whisper Ranch Pasture Raised Eggs

Picture
Our layer chickens live a happy life! We currently have our flock of chickens in an old up-cycled trailer chassis that we have turned into an eggmobile. They have year-round access to the outdoors. They even like to play around in the snow. During the winter months we provide hay in the eggmobile as a substitute for fresh pasture. During the spring, summer and fall we move the eggmobile around to new areas of the ranch regularly. This provides them with a fresh and diverse diet from nature and also spreads the miraculous chicken manure around the ranch. The eggmobile is moved around in the evening when the chickens are docile. There is also a perimeter electric fence which keeps predators out. The chickens also do a tremendous job of spreading out manure from the larger farm animals and feasting on all the fly larvae in the manure. This keeps the fly population to minimum and provides a great source of protein for the chickens. Hens are by nature omnivores, and the health benefits to the chickens eating all these bugs is critical. We do not use antibiotics or hormones.
