What’s special about Beachdog Farm eggs? Our chickens and ducks are mobile. They get fresh ground to scratch and forage regularly, as well as organic scratch grains as an everyday treat.
Our chickens eat Kalmbach USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO feed that contains LifeGuard®, a proprietary blend of prebiotics, probiotics, essential oils, and enzymes that support digestive, immune, and health functions. Their feed also contains YolkProud™, a blend of natural ingredients that promote vibrant egg yolks.
Our ducks eat Nature’s Best Organic Duck crumbles that provide a complete, nutritional diet for your ducks. Organic duck crumbles aim to strengthen ducks without using pesticides or genetically modified ingredients. They give young and growing ducks a healthy foundation through proteins and natural ingredients.
Our turkeys eat Kalmach Wild Flush Gamebird non-GMO feed containing LifeGuard®. Their feed is also balanced to support our conservancy breeding program.
What’s different about duck eggs?
Although both types of eggs are nutritious, duck eggs tend to contain even higher amounts of some nutrients than chicken eggs, including folate, iron, and vitamin B12.
Duck eggs contain as much as 168% or more of the DV for vitamin B12. Your body needs vitamin B12 for certain tasks, such as building DNA and new red blood cells

Eggs: Are they good or bad for my cholesterol?
Answer From Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, M.D, Mayo Clinic
Chicken eggs are an affordable source of protein and other nutrients. They're also naturally high in cholesterol. But the cholesterol in eggs doesn't seem to raise cholesterol levels the way some other foods, such as those high in trans fats and saturated fats, do. read more here

White Holland Turkey Poults and Eggs
Available Spring 2025
White Holland Turkey Project on Beachdog Farm
The White Holland was the most critical white-feathered variety throughout American history. Despite this illustrious past, the White Holland is among today’s rarest and most difficult-to-authenticate varieties. The White Holland was the only commercial white variety in the first half of the 1900s. The White Holland is a distinctive and historical population close to extinction (Threatened) (Livestock Conservancy, 2020)
Threatened: Breeds with fewer than 1,000 annual registrations in the United States and an estimated global population of less than 5,000. For rabbits, fewer than 100 annual registrations in the U.S., and estimated global population less than 1,000, fewer than 300 recorded at rabbit shows in the previous 5 years, and 11-30 breeders. For poultry, fewer than 1,000 breeding birds in the U.S., with seven or fewer primary breeding flocks, and an estimated global population less than 5,000. (Livestock Conservancy, 2020)

“In eastern Germany, Albert Franz of Chemitz began developing a new multi-purpose duck in 1930. He used Rouen, German Pekin, and Blue Pomeranian ducks in his breeding program and introduced this new creation at the Saxony Show of 1934.” (Holderread) Chemtiz’s goal was a duck for exhibition that would lay a lot of eggs and produce delicious meat. It was named after the show in which it was first shown.
Most Saxony ducks didn’t survive World War II, so Franz renewed his breeding program after the war. In 1957, Germany recognized them as a distinct breed. Saxony ducks made their way to the United States when the Holderread Waterfowl Farm in Oregon imported them in 1984. They were admitted into the American Poultry Association’s Standard of Perfection in the Fall of 2000. Status: Threatened (Livestock Conservancy, 2020)”
Welsh Harlequin Ducks
“The Welsh Harlequin breed originated in 1949 with two mutant, light-colored ducklings hatched from pure Khaki Campbells by Leslie Bonnet, a British Royal Air Force officer, writer, banker, magazine editor – and duck breeder. Bonnet and his wife developed a globally-recognized duck breeding program. Bonnet published Practical Duck-Keeping in 1960. This guide was considered the “go-to” resource for duck husbandry for many decades.
In 1968, John Fugate imported hatching Harlequin eggs to Tennessee, but by 1980, descendants of the original imports were confined to two small flocks. To broaden the gene pool, breeders imported additional Harlequins in 1982, and in 1984 they began to offer birds for sale in the US. The Silver variety of the Welsh Harlequin was accepted by the American Poultry Association Standard of Perfection in 2001. Status: Watch (Livestock Conservency, 2020)”

How we arrived here:
In 2015, we bought six chicks and built a pen out of PVC and chicken wire on 1/4 acre. We fell in love with farm life and its connection to our food. Since then, we have bought a farm and added Kunekune pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys, rabbits, heirloom vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers.
Meet Dr. Lisa Clow:
I retired from a 30-year career teaching public middle school and started farming full-time in July 2021. While my plan after completing a Ph.D. in Public Health was to work in higher education, the pandemic knocked me off my hamster wheel. (Listen to my podcast episode about that.) We decided to invest in Beachdog Farm, and now I’m living my dream!
