Q&A

How do you prevent eggs from freezing in cold temperatures?

When temperatures drop below zero, it is difficult to prevent eggs from freezing. We recommend collecting eggs frequently to minimize the risk.

Why did you choose a stronger wire for your coop?

We chose a stronger wire to protect our chickens from larger predators like coyotes. We've had issues with smaller predators chewing through regular chicken wire in the past.

What was in the German snack box?

The German snack box contained various chocolates, gummy bears, and cookies. We particularly enjoyed the Dame cookies and Kinder Eggs.

What is Butcher Box?

Butcher Box is a service that delivers high-quality, grass-fed meat, organic chicken, heritage breed pork, and wild-caught seafood directly to your doorstep.

When will you bring home your chickens?

We are excited to bring home our chickens soon. After finishing the coop and preparing it with bedding, feed, and water, we will be ready to welcome our laying ladies.
