Healthy Hens Lay Better Eggs

There's no short supply of feel-good vibes on our free-range farms, where Nellie and her hen friends spend their days doing what makes them happy: soaking up the sunshine, foraging for yummy snacks, and living the life every animal deserves. The result? Healthy eggs that aren't just better for your entire family but taste yummier, too.

True or false: cage-free hens have access to the outdoors.

False! Unlike free-range hens, cage-free hens spend their lives indoors.

  • My wife and I have been buying Nellie's eggs for several years. When I was a child, my family had a small flock of chickens. My chores were to gather the eggs and keep the chicken coop clean. Nellie's eggs have the same great taste as those when I was a child.

  • In my fifty-odd years on this planet, I have never tasted eggs this fresh and delicious! Seriously, these chickens must be not just happy but ecstatic. Try Nellie's; you will not be disappointed.

  • By far the best eggs we've ever tried. Nellie's shells are strong; yolks are firm and so much darker than any other. The taste is exceptional!

How to Live Like Nellie and Her Hen Friends

She's a pretty big deal around the farm: Nellie knows where to find all the juiciest worms and the best spots for a dust bath. No wonder she's so popular among her gaggle of gals! When it comes to free-range living, she “kind” of has it all figured out.

"It's worth noting, as Nellie's Free Range Eggs does, that eggs from free-range (not just cage-free) hens have stronger shells due to the hens being able to express natural behavior and consume enough grit to make nice, strong shells."
