 
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, Free Range eggs from 8 happy
and healthy chickens.
The stars of the show are Eloise, Liesle,
Oprah, Hermione, Hazel, Winnefred, Virginia and
Mabel.
Our eggs are hand-gathered twice a day. Our girls
are of various breeds: Cuckoo Marans, Wheaten
Marans, Golden Marans, Dominique, Buff Orpington,
Black Australorp, 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.
