Are JMZ Farms' Pasture-Raised Hens Vaccinated?

As a proud first-generation organic pasture-raised egg farmer in Colleyville, TX, I often receive questions about the health and care of our beloved hens. One question that comes up frequently is: "Do my pasture-raised hens receive vaccinations?"

The simple answer is no. At JMZ Farms, I believe in a holistic approach to animal husbandry, which means I do not administer vaccinations to our hens unless absolutely necessary. Here's why:

Natural Health and Strong Genetics

My commitment to raising healthy, happy hens begins with the breeds I choose. At JMZ Farms, I focus on heritage breeds known for their robust genetic makeup. Unlike genetically modified breeds, heritage breeds have naturally stronger genes, which make them more resilient to common ailments without the need for vaccinations.

Medicine-Free Philosophy

I don't believe in giving birds medicine that they don't need, especially when they aren't sick. Over-medicating can lead to unnecessary stress and potential health issues in the long run. Instead, we prioritize preventive care through natural means, such as:

• Optimal Nutrition: My hens enjoy a diet rich in organic feed and natural foraging, ensuring they get all the necessary nutrients to stay healthy.

• Clean Living Conditions: Regularly moved coops and ample space for free-ranging help minimize the risk of disease.

• Natural Remedies: When minor health issues do arise, I turn to natural remedies and supplements to support our hens' well-being.

The Benefits of Our Approach

By not vaccinating our hens, we maintain the integrity of their natural immune systems. This approach not only supports the health of our birds but also aligns with our customers' values. Many people choose JMZ Farms eggs because they trust in my commitment to natural farming practices and the overall welfare of our animals.

In summary, at JMZ Farms, I take pride in raising strong, healthy, and happy hens without the use of unnecessary vaccinations. Our holistic, medicine-free approach ensures that you can enjoy our organic pasture-raised eggs with confidence, knowing that they come from a farm where the well-being of the animals is our top priority.
