21oz to 24oz/doz. Because these are among the first eggs ever laid by the young hens, typically less than one year old, they contain the vital essences of the chicken, stored up for her entire life. No subsequent eggs will taste the same.

Say what?!? Yes, we are now offering free-range, pasture raised chicken eggs! These eggs sold out at EVERY market in the 2014 & 2015 season! Our chickens live out in the fields year round following behind our pasture raised beef. This is a part of sustainable agriculture. As we move the chickens behind the cows - they act like a pest control eating all the bugs that follow the cows. The yolks of our eggs are deep orange hue to their high protein diet of bugs! The chickens are supplemented with a hormone free & GMO free feed to ensure that they have all the nutrients they need to produce delicious and nutritious eggs!

Some of my older hens are showing off. They are consistently laying eggs of 2.5+ ounces. Most are brown, but there are some blues and pinks as well. They are NOT double yolkers -- just bigger than the average egg.

DOZEN jumbo size (3.0oz plus by weight) duck eggs. The ducks are Peking, Rouen and Khaki Campbell. In Spain, during my military service, I learned that Europeans use duck eggs in their baking, and it does make a difference. Because the whites of duck eggs have more protein than those of chicken eggs, they will whip up higher when beaten and create more loft (a better crumb) in cakes . This means lighter, higher cakes. Since the yolks are so rich, your cakes may also be richer with duck eggs. Solution: leave out the yolks if you don't need the extra fat (generally you use twice the egg white if not cooking with yolks). When adjusting for duck eggs: a large chicken egg is 2oz with shell & 1.75oz without shell [see Nutritional Info for adjustments]. My duck eggs will have a clear albumin and bright yellow yolk that stands up above the egg white. I only sell cleanly laid eggs (in a straw nest versus on the open ground or mud nest) to my customers. These ducks are my pets, so be assured that they are well cared for. I PACK THE EGGS AS A COMBO OF SIZES FROM 2.50 oz to 3.25 oz. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS. I do supplement their green diet with a prepared feed that does NOT have any medications or additives. CAUTION: The risk of getting a foodborne illness from eggs is very low. However, the nutrients that make eggs a high-quality food for humans are also a good growth medium for bacteria. In addition to food, bacteria also need moisture, a favorable temperature and time in order to multiply and increase the risk of illness. In the rare event that an egg contains bacteria, you can reduce the risk by proper chilling and eliminate it by proper cooking. When you handle eggs with care, they pose no greater food-safety risk than any other perishable food.

Our young pullets have started laying light brown LARGE size Grade A eggs from our Dominque and other heritage type chickens. We let our chickens free-range in a greenhouse which we attached to our barn. We allow our hens to graze on pasture in the afternoons. (We have a problem with a raskley chicken hawk that hangs around in the mornings) Our feed is a laying mix bought locally. We also feed greens from the garden each day. Overall I feel that we produce a quality product at a fair price. The chickens have a quality stress free life and produce great eggs.

DOZEN LARGE EGGS. OK, there's nothing fancy about these barnyard hens. I raised them by hand, I make sure they are nutritionally sound and they lay some GREAT tasting 2+ ounce eggs. I can't tell you anything about Non-this or Non-that because that doesn't enter into my farm. They get plenty of greens from the garden - both "weeds" and extra plantings. They are happy, safe and well cared for; thus, their eggs are delicious, and that is enough for me.

These are for people who just want the cozy large brown egg which "looks" like it just came off the farm. It's just as delicious and healthy as the rest - no difference except for shell color.

Compare the price and you'll find this is a good deal on a DOZEN MEDIUM EGGS. These weigh between 1.75 and 1.98 ounces. They taste just as delicious as the larger ones because the hens were hand raised, are well cared for and I make sure they are nutritionally sound. Shell color has nothing to do with the nutritional content of the egg, but these are pretty in colors of white, almost pink, blue, green, brown, and I have one hen laying lavender eggs. You get Easter a few weeks early.
