Our hens are out on pasture every day with coops are mobile, so they’re always on fresh ground. We move them a couple times a week so they can graze on green grass, clovers, legumes, and hunt for bugs like chickens are meant to do.
Along with what they find out there, we give them a supplemental organic, non-GMO feed. It’s made up of organic grains (including corn and soy), plus some wheat, and barley, along with minerals, vitamins, and probiotics. They can eat that as they need it.
We’ve tried going fully soy-free in the past, but the hens just weren’t getting enough protein to really thrive. So we added a small amount back in to make sure they’re getting what they need. It’s not a large part of their diet, but it helps keep the birds healthy and the eggs nutrient-dense.
Our chickens eat a wide variety of plants and insects from the organic pastures. Their diet is supplemented with a mixture of organic grains and minerals. All of the chickens at Burroughs Family Farms are free-range and cage-free. The eggs are hand gathered, washed and packed at our farm in Merced County.
