Our Mission and the Reason Behind It

Located in Van Buren County, Iowa 🖤 The Cluckin’ Egghole is a family owned farm 🖤 Our chickens free-range because we ❤️ them and believe they deserve freedom too 🖤 #freethechickens🖤#lovethechickens🖤 The Cluckin' Egghole raises free-ranged chickens. We strive to give our chickens a healthy and happy life. They are not only used for egg production, they are also part of the family. We never cull our chickens, unless it is in the best interest of the chicken due to some unforseen cause. Our chickens make for a wonderful coping strategy on the stressful days, provide laughs and beauty to the farm, and of course produce delicious, hand-gathered, farm-fresh eggs packed with protien! You can tell it's farm fresh and free-ranged by the color of the yolk, which is deep orange compared to the light yellow yolk you'll find in store-bought eggs from chickens that are confined. Our eggs not only taste yummier, they are also healthier for you! Welcome to The Cluckin' Egghole! We can't wait to get to know you better! Find us on Facebook: @the.Cluckin.Egghole

Meet Some of the Crew

First up we have Rooster, yes he is a rooster and his name is Rooster. He can be extremely loud, but he is very gentle with the hens and takes extremely good care of them; finding them treats, standing up to the big scary Moose (our pit/boxer mix), and making sure they all come in before sundown. This is Earl, she is the number one hen on the farm and has kind of become the mascot. Earl no longer lays eggs regularly (though every now and again we'll find a golden butt nugget). She came down with a condition known as Wry Neck when she was around 6 months old. This means that she can't really hold her head still and the muscles in her neck spasm quite often. She can no longer fly onto the roosting bar in the coop so she sleeps on the floor. Most people would have decided to cull Earl given her condition, but she doesn't seem to be in pain, loves to be held, and stands up for herself so until she is no longer a happy chicken, she gets to stay! As you can see, the big scary M...

More Than Chickens

Here at The Cluckin' Egghole we raise more than poultry, we are also goat farmers and we have one Jersey bull. We are just starting out, it's been two years since we purchased our farm and our little farm family has grown exponentially. Never would we have thought that we'd be farmers. In fact, when we purchased our property our only intent was to buy a little piece of country to enjoy being away from populated areas. We just wanted a quiet and serene place to call home. We definitely achieved that and much more! Our home came with some fences, which we regrettably asked to be removed. It had never crossed our minds that we would become farmers, in fact, we had decidedly chosen not to raise livestock... We were introduced to the local sale barn where we watched as animals were pushed through and sold to the highest bidder. This is when the idea sparked within us that we could join this crowd of farmers, but we would do it differently. You see, we have had some pretty b...
