Mother Earth on the Egg and Backyard Flocks

Posted in Homesteading

Here is an excellent article from Mother Earth News.  While most of us around here already knew the goodness of backyard fresh ~ it's nice to see it so well presented by a valued resource.

I knew the pastured eggs were more nutritious, but the Vitamins A & E go through the roof! I'm going to link to this article on our website. Thanks for posting it!

BTW, our six week old poults moved outside today for the first time. Mike and Dad got the mobile pens done today and we moved all 59 of them out. They loved it! Scratching around and making happy chicken noises. I can't wait to visit them tomorrow and ask them how they're liking it.......DeniseB
