FAQs

At Happy Egg, we are very intentional and selective about the farmers we partner with to best raise and take care of our girls, all while adhering to our strict standards for humane practice. From ample amounts of space and time to roam and, well, do the things hens love to do, to the feed they consume, our hens get the best of the best throughout their life. Unfortunately, the entire egg industry would like to see more options available for hens that retire from egg laying. Due to FDA restrictions and even environmental impact, the options are limited; but Happy Egg is committed to working with our farmers to find desirable solutions that are sustainable for both our hens and our farms.

We could stare at those yolks all day. But we eat them way too fast to stare at them for long. We feed all our hens a nutrient-rich, proprietary (and quite frankly, expensive) feed mixture custom-designed for the health and beauty of the bird, as well as the best possible egg and yolk. In fact, this premiere feed is so fantastic that not all the ingredients are commercially available. When fed to our two special heritage breeds, the combo of this feed and the birds’ pecking on plants and insects outdoors adds up to a rich, delicious amber yolk.

It’s all in the genes, friends. The unique coloring of the shells of our Heritage eggs come from two distinct (and distinctly beautiful) breeds of birds.
