What Makes a Good Egg Farm?

This comes as a surprise to most, but the quality and taste of an egg does not depend on the breed of chicken.

The taste and nutritional content of an egg is directly related to how well the hen that laid it was cared for.

There is a saying in the egg industry, “the happier the hen, the healthier they are, the healthier they are, the better their eggs.”

It makes perfect sense, who wouldn’t want happy hens. But what exactly makes a hen happy and healthy?

The basic needs of hens are; good quality nutrition, excellent living conditions, and plenty of space to free-range.

Ideally, hens should be able to roam free-range as much as they like. This is the most important consideration, caged hens are just not acceptable.

In addition to having plenty of space, their living conditions should be excellent. This means, they’re safe from the threat of predators, not cramped, are warm and in clean conditions, etc.

The taste of an egg is related to what a hen eats, which shouldn’t come as a surprise.

You can’t always check what commercial food hens are being given, but knowing they’re able to roam free-range and graze on bugs and plants is a huge plus.

If possible, you should always visit an egg farm in person. You get to see and find out so much more by visiting a location and seeing it with your own eyes.

Most farms welcome this, and it’s a great way to see for yourself how they’re running their business and caring for their hens.

Can I Sell Eggs in Kentucky?

Under the Kentucky Egg Marketing Law, all businesses, distributorships, or plants selling eggs must be licensed to sell shell eggs.

This also includes other egg products or specialty egg products, so I recommend checking with the Kentucky Department of Agriculture before going too far into your planning phase.

The licensing and regulations do vary depending on what type of business you’re operating, so you will need to do your due diligence.

Additional Resources

A great resource for anyone selling eggs or poultry in Kentucky is The Kentucky Poultry Federation (KPF).

The KPF has been around since 1957 and says they exist for the purpose of:

“Fostering, promoting and encouraging the improvement of production and marketing of all types of poultry, poultry products, eggs, and egg products in Kentucky.”

Their site has loads of resources and information related to selling eggs in Kentucky, so it’s a great place to start.
