Welcome
to Suburban Chicken ....home of Angus Acres eggs.
 We
are a small suburban home
in Lemon Grove, California who just happen to
produce Farm Fresh, Pasture Raised, Vegetarian Fed,
Organic, Free Range eggs from happy and healthy
chickens.
The stars of the show are
Eloise, Liesle,
Oprah, Hermione, Hazel, Winnefred, Mabel, Vulture,
Harpy, Buzzard, Squeezle, Ethel , Lucy and Marjorie.
Our eggs are hand-gathered
twice a day. Our girls are of various breeds: Black
Copper Marans, Cuckoo Marans, Wheaten Marans, Golden
Marans, Dominique, Buff Orpington, Black Australorp,
Araucanas, Barred Plymouth Rock and Delaware. Most of
these are heritage breeds listed on the American
Conservancy List.
First
and foremost our hens are pets
and are treated as such. So it was important to
choose breeds that had a tendency towards being docile,
social and friendly. They are well socialized and very
tame. They love human attention and are easily handled.
Each girl has her own distinct personality.
 The
girls are naturally happy & healthy
(never medicated) as they are able to peck,
scratch, roam, fly and have a variety to eat. They
graze our yard from dawn till dusk eating grass,
herbs, weeds as well as having free access to
their vegetarian layer crumble and fresh water.
They love the extras out of the garden with
tomatoes, Swiss chard, lettuce, oranges, mangos,
nectarines, apricots, strawberries among their
favorites. They roost in low bushes, roll in dirt
giving themselves dust baths, nap, sun bathe and
generally hang out happy and contented.
Thank you
for visiting our website and for supporting
sustainable agriculture.
