They're Clucking with Joy

fresh eggs

Mellisahof’s fresh eggs are amazing, the firmness of the yokes and fluffy texture make them absolutely delicious. I love frying them up and adding them to a variety of dishes. I have no idea how Melissa does it, but she has found the secret to delicious, fresh eggs.

Successful hatches!

I purchased some hatching eggs for my broody hens & I cannot recommend her enough! The eggs were shipped fresh, came very quickly & were packaged so great! I had two VERY successful hatches (Half the eggs under a proven hen and half under a first time broody.) I now have a dozen very beautiful and healthy Salmon Faverolles and Blue Laced Red Wyandottes, & two very happy mama hens!
