My Chickens
		I farm chickens organically and sell the eggs that are laid.  There are two groups, the first are rescued from a battery and are a commercial mix breed.  The second are all home raised and are a mix of the original Araucana/Red Shaver cross chicks I hatched three years ago and the ex-battery hens.  Some of them lay green/blue eggs because of the Araucana genes.
