I have read all about your eggs, and nowhere does it speak to antibiotics and hormones. Do you use them to keep the chickens so happy?
Thanks for your question! We definitely don’t use either! Hormone use in chicken and egg production has been banned by the FDA for decades (and they’d mess with the girls’ egg production!), and we never give any of our animals routine antibiotics and never administer antibiotic treatment to our chickens. (We will treat sick pigs or cows with antibiotics to save their lives and relieve pain from infection but we’ve rarely had an animal needing treatment – a handful of times in our ten years in business – and we always respect withdrawal periods before slaughter!) We never ever give feed antibiotics or give them in their water to prevent illness. We don’t need to because we provide them with a diet and lifestyle that keeps them healthy! Somehow the fact that we NEVER give our animals routine antibiotics and NEVER give antibiotics to our chickens didn’t make it into our final product descriptions! Thanks for pointing that out!
