Farm in Tuscany with happy chickens
Our farm in Tuscany is home to a small group of hard-working free-range chickens and ducks. At Podere Palazzone they live a happy life, as if they were on holiday in Tuscany. This is why we can enjoy their eggs from the bottom of our hearts. Indeed, these organic eggs are natural, healthy and, depending on the season, in XXL format. Above all, they are delicious. The chickens and ducks come from our own rearing. Just a few days after hatching, the chicks are put together in a separated coop together with adult hens that teach them all about chicken-life. Afterwards, our olive grove, the vineyard and the forest are at their free disposal.
Free-range chickens in Tuscany
On our farm, we have crossed the typical gallina rossa of Tuscany with Bresse cockerels from France. As a result, we have quite a colourful herd. The imposing Bresse rooster, unquestioned proud master of his herd, keeps order. Apart from crowing, prancing around and showing off, he doesn’t really do much. But in the evening, he wouldn’t go to sleep unless having previously herded all his hens in the coop, knowing they are safe. It takes a little leisure and the right attitude to sit with the chickens and observe their natural behaviours. Highly interesting!
Ducks in the pond
Also, white ducks and a group of colourful mallards are hosted at our farm in Tuscany. Their males are grey feathered with the typical metallic green head. Females are slightly smaller and have mottled brown plumage. Striking blue, black, and white wing feathers adorn their wings. Obviously, all the ducks live freely around a pond, which can be seen from the pool at the edge of our park. By the way, fresh duck eggs are a delicacy, slightly larger than chicken eggs and above all very tasty.
