Opening a carton of fresh Drumlin Farm eggs is a feast for the eyes (and the stomach) as they come in a kaleidoscope of beautiful hues. Our eggs range in color from creamy taupes, to smokey whites, to shades of blue and green.
Different breeds of chicken produce this rainbow, and Drumlin Farm has several breeds on the farm. Silver Laced Wyandotte, 
Rhode Island Reds, Barred Rocks, Crested Polish, and a variety of Bantams live and lay eggs in the Poultry House, while the Egg Mobiles house Rhode Island Reds, Brown Leghorns, Ancona, Araucana, Barred Rocks, Partridge Rocks, and Australorp. There are so many breeds, and some flaunt exceptionally ornate feathers!
We use many of our eggs for programming purposes, and our eggs are very popular (as well as nutritious and delicious) so our available stock often exceeds demand. For these and other reasons, it is difficult to know just when we will have supplies of eggs to sell to our visitors.
Even so, stop by the admissions window at the Nature Center and ask for a dozen eggs…you could be having omelets for dinner!
