🍳Duck Eggs - Nutritional Powerhouse

With more fat, protein, vitamins, and minerals than a traditional chicken egg, duck eggs are a great way to super boost your meals with nutrients. The yolk is full of antioxidants, omega 3 fatty acids, and 50% more vitamin A than a chicken egg.

In addition to being incredibly nutrient dense, duck eggs are DELICIOUS. Try them fried, whip them up into a frittata with some garden vegetables, or use them to create a custard. You will love duck eggs once you try them.

Pro tip - When frying them, cook at a slightly lower temp on the stove, they have less water content than chicken eggs so the whites can overcook if you are not careful.

Duck eggs are always available at Charmed Life Farm. Our pasture raised flock forages on grass pastures daily and is fed only the best organic, soy free, corn free feed. You won't find higher quality eggs than these.

Order online for convenient pick up from our Market at our farm's entrance in Loxahatchee. All pick up instructions are on our store's check out page.

***Please do not drive out to our farm before you have placed your order - we are a small family farm and are not always available to assist you. The online store is the EASIEST way to purchase our amazing products.

The first goose egg of 2025! To hatch or not to hatch, that is the question. 🤔

Today we finished building our aluminum chicken tractor for the meat chickens! 4 hours later, lots of heckling from the geese, and our meaties have made it into their new coop! This style of chicken coop
will allow us to keep our birds safe from predators while allowing them plenty of space to run, play, and eat on our fresh, green, grassy pastures. We move the coop daily to ensure that the birds are always on a clean patch of grass and this also helps to fertilize our pastures with the most organic fertilizer possible - chicken p**p!

Pasture raised *and* organic/soy free/corn free fed chicken coming soon! Be sure to register for the farm's weekly emails on our online store for updates!

I am getting a huge influx of requests for eggs. As you may have noticed, the store front has not had any chicken eggs for a few weeks. This is because true pasture raised on a farm eggs are a seasonal food. Just like mango season over the summer, apple season in the fall, egg season is January through August. In September, the shortening of day length signal’s to a bird’s body that it is time to molt - lose its old feathers and grow new ones. This process takes a month for ducks and several months for chickens. During this time, the majority of the energy a bird takes in from its food goes toward feather production rather than egg production. This is a totally normal process and happens every year. Once molting is over in November, there is not enough daylight to signal to the chickens to lay consistently. While this break may seem inconvenient for us, the egg eaters, it is actually a natural process for the birds and a break for their bodies.

Large scale poultry producers that supply grocery stores will use artificial lighting in their chicken barns to make the chickens produce until their bodies don’t have any more eggs to lay and then cull (euthanize) the chickens, as they are no longer producing a sellable product.

That is not how we do things here at this farm. Chickens live outside on grass pasture, they get to exhibit natural behaviors, forage on grass and insects, and they get to take a break from laying eggs for a period each year.

Our ducks have already finished molting and are picking back up in production so I will be adding those to the store front as they are available. Duck eggs are DELICIOUS! They are larger than a chicken egg, have a larger and more nutrient dense yolk, excellent flavor, and are superior for baking. These are a great alternative for chicken eggs while we are waiting for Egg Season 2025.

Our ducks are also pasture raised, fed New Country Organics soy free and corn free feed, and generally spoiled rotten. These happy ducks lay delicious eggs.

***I am also currently raising the next batch of 2025 layers and plan to increase the amount of eggs I have available for 2025.

Hurricane Milton brought tornados to our area yesterday, but we were fortunate to escape any damage. Many thanks to those who expressed concern for our well-being and that of our farm. All animals were safely sheltered in the barn and are now returning to their normal schedule.
