What’s Happening on the Farm: A Seasonal Update from Legacy Land and Livestock
Summer is here in Durant, Oklahoma, and things are busy at Legacy Land and Livestock. We wanted to give you a peek at what’s happening on the farm this season — from the flock to the fields.
The Flock Is Thriving
Our hens and ducks are loving the longer days. More daylight means more foraging, more bugs to eat, and — yes — more eggs. Summer is our most productive season, and we’ve been seeing excellent laying rates from both the chicken and duck flocks.
The ducks, in particular, have been enjoying the warm weather. They spend their days waddling between their shelter and water features, and their eggs have been especially large and rich lately. If you’ve been thinking about trying duck eggs, now is the perfect time.
Free-Range Management
We rotate our birds through fresh ground on a regular schedule. This keeps the land healthy, gives the birds access to fresh forage, and naturally manages parasites and soil health.
This summer we’ve expanded our grazing area, giving the flock even more room to roam. Happy birds lay better eggs — it’s that simple.
What’s New
We’ve been working on a few improvements around the farm:
- New nesting boxes — More comfortable laying spots mean cleaner, happier eggs
- Improved pickup setup — Making it even easier to grab your eggs on the go
- Website updates — You’re looking at them! We’ve been working to make it easier to learn about our farm, reserve eggs, and stay connected
Why Local Eggs Matter More Than Ever
With egg prices fluctuating at the grocery store and supply chain issues affecting availability, there’s never been a better time to buy local. When you get your eggs from Legacy Land and Livestock, you know exactly where they come from, how the birds are treated, and that you’re supporting a local family farm.
Plus, our prices haven’t changed. $3 per dozen for duck eggs, $4 per dozen for chicken eggs — farm fresh, free-range, and collected daily.
