Jennifer Trainer Thompson, author of The Fresh Egg Cookbook: From Chicken to Kitchen, Recipes for Using Eggs from Farmers' Markets, Local Farms, and Your Own Backyard, published by Storey Publishing, says that an egg's nutrition contains protein second only to a mother’s milk.
Your backyard chicken eggs also contain 9 essential amino acids and 13 essential vitamins! Each egg has a low fat content of just 5 grams—and it's one of the few foods that naturally contain Vitamin D. According to Wikipedia, natural Vitamin D is claimed to have benefits including promoting good bone health, anti-cancer properties, and more!
A study by Mother Earth News showed that farm-fresh eggs from pasture-raised hens are healthier than those from confined factory-farm hens, including:
1/3 less cholesterol
1/4 less saturated fat
2/3 more vitamin A
2 times more omega-3 fatty acids
3 times more vitamin E
7 times more beta carotene
Absolutely! Just make sure their food and water is full when you leave. You can gather the eggs when you return. If you plan on being gone for longer than three days, please ask a friend or neighbor to check on their food and water while you are out of town. Don't forget to have them pull the eggs for you!

We have never had a chicken hurt from a stray alley cat. It is highly unlikely that a cat will hurt a chicken—usually, the cats are more scared of the chickens!
We also have a system for introducing your family dog to your new chickens. Our system has worked so well that sometimes, when we come back to pick up your hens at the end of the rental season (if you chicken out), the dogs are unhappy with us taking the coop away!
We know that your hens are part of your family. We also understand that some people may not want to keep chickens after the rental period, so we’ve created a system to ensure those birds can safely return to our farm. Because of these two factors, we do our very best to provide the safest coop possible for the birds. We like to say our coops are predator resistant, not predator proof. If a predator is determined, they may be able to get into the coop. This is very rare, and if it happens, we will replace the lost birds and inspect the coop for any design changes that may need to be made.
