Once upon a time, back in 1918, it was encouraged to have backyard chickens.

The Chickens are back and they're out for a little winter ride in the snow and carol clucking! (And in their Dickens-like outfits no less -- you know what th...

Sadly, the little white cat, is eating fermented feed with the chickens. No really! Her name is Sadly.

Egg Plant Egg Art

04/20/2019

Our hens don’t always colour eggs, except for Easter. They colour eggs for Easter.

Who!......who!......who let the chickens out??

03/30/2019

RigaTony, the tom cat, wants out. Hanging around with President Clinton, the Delaware Rooster, in the henhouse for a spring Revival Meeting, isn’t his cup of tea.

03/29/2019

Spring has sprung! How do we know? The hens are laying again! We have farm fresh eggs from free range hens available in the Nanton area now. $4/dozen. PM for more information.

Automatic Chicken Waterer. Requires steady supply of rain or melting snow. Environmentally friendly in more ways than one.

This crazy turkey, the only turkey we have, can fly. He’s supposed to sleep inside, but chooses to roost on the door. When the weather changes, the door will be closed. Then what?

11/04/2018

The Egg Plant chickens have come home to roost. Don’t worry. They’ll be ready to lay a few eggs for happy customers again next year.

Cohabitation. Kittens in the front, hen in the back. She lays the egg, then hires kittens to sit on it. 🐔🐱🥚

When 1 chicken becomes 3.

“Why did the chicks cross the road?”
Because the mother chicken told them to.
There you have the real answer, in living colour.

07/21/2018

Here we go again! Looking for eggs in all the wrong places.😡🐔🥚

07/19/2018

The hen says it’s an egg. The cat says it’s a ball. The hen wins.

07/11/2018

Hey chicken! Take that!

07/06/2018

Dig a hole, they said. Jump in and wiggle all around, they said. You’re gonna feel so clean and shiny when you’re done, they said. Don’t do it!! It felt like dirt, I came out dirtier than I was when I went in, and realized that chicken dirt bathing is only good for chickens.😳🤣

The chickens weren’t protesting at all, and while feeling rather sheepish for stealing a babies bed, they paid for the room before leaving.

05/17/2018

Well, we got home last night to find the puppy kicked out of his kennel, and sleeping on the floor. Upon further investigation, the chickens are having a “sit in”. Wait, maybe it’s an “Occupy the Dog House” protest. Whatever the case, the squatters should move to a roost. Real chickens don’t sleep on the ground.

Rent a few hens and a mobile coop to keep them in, and you too can have eggs like you see here. The big one weighs 106 grams! Your basic, store bought extra large eggs are around 70 grams. Fresh eggs are unbelievably good.

We deal eggs. Farm fresh eggs from free range chickens.
What did you think we were talking about?

05/11/2018

There’s a chicken on a shelf trying to get into the chicken stuff.

05/10/2018

Get ready!! The Egg Plant will be selling farm fresh eggs at the Farmer’s Market in Nanton. Haywired Coffee House, Bullzeye Jewelry and The Egg Plant have joined forces to provide a one stop shopping venue for our unique wares. Find our table and have a chat. In the meantime, we have eggs for sale. Send us a message and we’ll set up the deal.

When the hen bites you just because you want an egg of your own, she might be getting broody.

04/19/2018

Egg Plant Feeding Frenzy! They love that fermented feed.

04/08/2018

The little red hen that lives in the shop dropped breakfast off for the dogs that live in this crate. Really! What could be nicer than that?

04/03/2018

You’re just walking along, minding your own business, when suddenly, you see an egg. It’s an egg that melted into the snow, so that’s right where a hen left it. You ask yourself, “Why would a hen lay an egg in the snow?” Before thinking about it for too long, you realize that you’ll never know the answer, so you just pick it up and walk on. Another of life’s little mysteries.

03/29/2018

Get this chicken out of here!!

03/21/2018

Our hens are ramping up production with the arrival of longer days. Anyone in the Nanton area who wants farm fresh eggs @$4.00 per dozen, please let us know.

03/21/2018

They come from far and wide if you set a pail of grain on the ground.

03/16/2018

There’s something weird about this, but I just can’t put my finger on it!🐔🥚

03/14/2018

We don’t have any ducks, but we’re pretty happy to have our chickens in a row.
