Because a healthy hen makes a wholesome egg
Dakota Layers' cage-free eggs are laid by hens who can roam their open indoor environment and enjoy constant access to high-quality feed and clean water. Our hens freely explore their spacious environment and enjoy plenty of amenities and activities that promote their natural behaviors.
About Cage-Free Eggs
Hens in our cage-free housing system can freely roam the ground level of their barn and explore the lofted nesting and perching areas. They have constant access to clean water and nutritious feed, developed by a poultry nutritionist. Our hens can also enjoy practicing natural behaviors and interacting with enrichments such as nests, perches, and scratch areas.
Nest boxes facilitate egg collection, minimize hen pecking, and keep eggs from litter. A large flap also covers the nesting areas and the dark environment encourages our hens to lay their eggs.
Perches allow hens to rest naturally by enabling them to move into the lofted nesting system or down to the floor area as they please.
Our hens have access to the litter area to scratch, forage, and dust bathe.
The best of both worlds
Our free-range hens live in barns designed to meet their natural needs and have the freedom to leave their barns to spend time outdoors. They also enjoy constant access to healthy food and clean water along with private nesting spaces.
About Free-Range Eggs
We feed our free-range hens an all-vegetarian diet with no animal by-products. You will taste the freshness and distinctively rich yolk that sets these eggs apart from ordinary supermarket brands.
Compassion and quality always come first
Our conventional farm features state-of-the-art, temperature-controlled environments with full access to clean water and feed. As with all our farms, our top priorities on our conventional farm are the care of our hens and the quality of the eggs they produce.
