  • How to get a dark egg yolk

    If you are a farmer or even just have a backyard chicken flock you understand the importance, and the satisfaction, of getting a dark egg yolk from your chicken! It’s an indication that your chickens are getting a healthy, nutrient rich diet. If your chicken has a healthy diet then they are transferring those nutrients to their eggs! Everyone benefits!

    There are three nutrients that factor into the egg yolk coloring – Proteins, xanthophylls, and omega-3 fatty acids. All of these nutrients can be found naturally and if you are able to pasture your chickens they will pick up everything they need nutritionally and their yolks will be bright orange on their own without any supplementing. If your chickens live in a coop and do not get a lot of yard time there are ways of supplementing these nutrients so you too can get the dark egg yolks!

    Proteins

    It always drives me crazy when I see “vegetarian feed” on chicken meat or eggs at the grocery store. Chickens are not vegetarians. They are omnivores. They love and need meat! Bugs, mealworms, frogs, lizards, and even rodents. Letting your chickens have run of a pasture should give them all the protein they need, since they will spend their day chasing and eating bugs. If you need to supplement you can give them dried mealworms, black oil sunflower seeds, cooked meats, and cooked eggs. It’s a daily ritual for us to give our chickens black oil sunflower seeds when we are putting them up for the night. It makes it easier to get them into the coop and gives them an extra shot of protein, especially during the winter when there aren’t a lot of bugs out.

    Xanthophylls

    Xanthophylls play a large role in getting you those dark egg yolks. They can be found in plants like leafy greens, broccoli, collards, kale, and brussels sprouts. In the winter when greens are not always readily available you may notice that the yolks become a paler. Giving your chicken your veggie scraps and/or growing extra greens for them in your garden will help supplement their diet. Dandelion greens are also a great source of xanthophylls. During the spring and summer I have the kids pick the dandelions out of the yard and throw them in the coop. The chickens love them!

    Omega-3 Fatty Acids

    If you are looking to supplement Omega-3 Fatty Acids flax seeds and sea kelp will give the chickens what they need.

    Making sure your chicken has a well rounded, nutrient rich diet is easy to do and will benefit everyone and once you start getting the dark orange yolks it’s hard to imagine eating eggs that don’t… It makes you an egg snob!

  • Fall Soap Giveaway

    Today is the first day of Fall… The best season of them all, and it just so happens that this is our best seasonal soap so far! This amazing soap is scented with Orange and Clove!

    Fall Goat Milk Soap from The Freckled Farm Soap Company

    We had decided back at the beginning of the year that our Fall soap was going to be Orange Clove. To me that is the perfect scent to represent Fall. Back a few months ago we ordered all the supplies we needed to make this new scent so we could start our tests. The day the essential oils came in the mail I unpacked the boxes, put the tanks on the counter, and left the house for a few hours. When I came home I walked in the door and was hit in the face by the smell of clove… Now we knew clove was a strong smell, we were prepared for that, but this was incredible. The tank was unopened and sealed! We spent some time trying to figure out the perfect combination. A combination where the clove did not completely overwhelm the orange… and let me tell you folks, we found it! It’s the perfect combination! It’s truly a wonderful scent and I can’t wait for all of you to try it… it’s a shame it will only be around for a few months.
