VIRTUAL TOUR: Egg-laying Chickens

I absolutely love walking the fields at Polyface and seeing the animals living out their natural uniqueness. For over a decade now, one of my favorite yearly rituals has been taking spring walks there—pausing just to listen to the quiet, steady sound of cows grazing. There’s something incredibly grounding about it. I also get a kick out of watching the chickens dart and weave, especially when one finds an earthworm and suddenly turns into a tiny, determined guardian of her prize. And the pigs! ...They’re endlessly entertaining. I could stand there forever just breathing it all in and laughing at how curious and playful they are as they explore their space. I really think everyone should visit Polyface at least once. Seeing it in person makes such a powerful impression. It’s completely different from what most people picture when they think of a typical American farm. That said, I know not everyone gets the chance to go. So I’m especially grateful for the folks who film and share these experiences, making it possible to get a glimpse of that beauty and peace from afar. Take a break and check out this virtual tour of their egg-laying chickens. Blessings, Hannah
