Peep, peep, peep
The chicks are fascinating to watch as they explore their new home. We caught some of them in action.

We just added 10,000 square-feet of refrigerated storage onto our packing plant to cool the eggs coming in from our family farmers. We want to be sure our eggs are as fresh as possible when you pick them up at the store.
New aviary makes happy hens
We're eggs-cited about finishing our brand new 72' x 300' aviary. Multi-platform poultry aviaries have been used in Europe for more than fifteen years. Ours has four levels on which hens can freely move about. The floor level has feed and scratching areas, the second level has nests and water, and the top two levels have enough perches for all the hens to stand or roost.
This new barn is very active. The birds jump from level to level, but they're very relaxed. And happy hens are more productive.
The aviary was specially designed and built for us by Jansen Poultry Equipment, a Dutch manufacturer of innovative poultry raising systems. It's brand new to U.S. poultry farming.
Our new aviary provides our hens with a humane and more natural environment. If it works as well as we hope, we'll convert all our barns to the aviary system.
