Not All Eggs Are Equal

If you enjoy eggs and you’ve tried eggs from several farms, you’ll be well aware there can be a huge difference in the taste and quality.

This isn’t to do with the breed of the hen that laid the egg, it’s to do with how the hens are being treated.

You should always look for eggs that are labeled as ‘free range’ or ‘cage free’ as a starting point.

Caged or battery hens are generally kept in dire conditions. Not only is it cruel and inhumane to keep hens caged up all day, but the result is also eggs lacking in taste and nutritional content.

Ideally, hens should have space to roam free-range, be able to graze on bugs and insects and be fed a high-quality organic feed.

In addition to this, they should have excellent living conditions and a high standard of care.

Happy chickens are healthy chickens, and healthy chickens lay the best eggs. It’s really as simple as that.

What Is Required to Sell Eggs in Texas?

If you’re looking for egg farms as part of your research into starting an egg farming business, not buying eggs, I can help point you in the right direction.

Your first call should be to the Texas Department of State Health Services. They will be able to advise you on what license or permit you’ll need based on your business model.

Even if you want to just get started selling at local farmer's markets, you need to meet some strict requirements set out by the state.

This is to safeguard the public and make sure they’re receiving eggs in the best possible condition and also to safeguard you should something bad happen.

In particular, you need to be aware of how to properly handle and store eggs. As well as how to label the boxes correctly.

Even if you’re starting out with a few backyard chickens, being an egg farmer/seller is an exciting and possibly very profitable business.

The beauty of it is that if you’re raising chickens anyway, it’s a pleasure more than a chore and you’re simply selling surplus eggs!
