Critters Ranch

United States

We did our own test to see how all the different eggs on the market compared to our eggs. In the upper left corner is the standard grade A large egg, bottom left is the organic egg, bottom right cage free, and top right is the Happy Critters Ranch egg. All eggs were similar in size and, as you see, all were brown with the exception of the grade A egg.

Our Bourbon Red Heritage Turkeys are known for their juicy, rich flavor and also their beauty. We raise ours on pasture and woods so that they have access to grass, yummy bugs and worms! Raising Heritage Turkeys verses the common white turkey is a bit more expensive, however it is well worth it. Heritage breeds take about thirty weeks to reach market weight while the common turkey only takes about eighteen weeks. Also Heritage Breeds are able to reproduce naturally whereas the common whites can not due to their unnatural large breast size and weak legs. We have a limited supply of our Bourbon Reds so if you would like to have one for 2011 Holidays let us know ASAP, they go fast.

The chickens first start out in the brooder. They spend several weeks here until they get their first feathers. Then they can be moved to the movable chicken tractors.

This is Isabelle and Jezebelle They are our Large Black Hog gilts we acquired September, 09. They are lounging around the pool. When they get hot they like to take a dip in the pool. They will be too big to fit in this pool next summer so we will need to make them a bigger one.
