Radically transparent. We prioritize taking care of our chickens and the environment first. See for yourself how the hens make your eggs.

Spoiler alert! The eggs are white, and the yolks are yellow (because we skip the colorant additives in the feed).

Enjoy.

These laws support the viability of small and medium farms, meet consumer demand, provide opportunities for new, starting farmers to get off the ground. This is about supporting communities across rural America. Food security. Environmental and human health. This is about states' rights.

CA and MA voters showed they care about animal welfare by only allowing cage-free eggs and crate-free pork and veal on the market. Now some ag groups want to overturn these laws. Oppose the EATS Act, or ‘Food Security and Farm Protection Act’ or ‘Save our Bacon Act’ aimed at overturning these laws.

Over 200 livestock farmers came to Washington, DC. to speak with Congress members about the benefits of cage and crate free laws in California and Massachusetts for small to medium sized farms.

Opinion | What I Didn’t Know About the Chicken Egg Industry Horrified Me

I have raised and loved so many hens from the time they were chicks. Why did I never think to ask about the fate of their brothers?

🐔💅 How do chickens practice self-care? By taking dust baths! Dust bathing is essential 🛁 It helps our hens:
💆‍♀️ De-stress
🌞 Stay cool in warmer weather
🪶 Keep feathers in good shape
🦠 Get rid of pesky parasites

Did you know that chickens can blush? 🐔❤️ Our lead farmer Shania has the scoop on all of the hen gossip and behavior!

As feeling beings, chickens deserve our respect and care, and it's important to recognize their emotional well-being.

🐣 Did you know? In the U.S., 300 million rooster chicks from the egg industry are killed every year at just one day old because they can’t lay eggs. At Kipster, we give a cluck and believe this is unacceptable💔 It’s time for change. https://buff.ly/40RCGdy #animalwelfare #farmlife

Every Kipster hen house has outdoor gardens🐔🪵 But when the weather isn't ideal, they can hang out in the indoor garden 🌦️ Inside, they enjoy plenty of natural daylight, fresh air, and enriching activities to keep them entertained ✨

Hello government! Call to government to increase focus on dealing with #H5N1 bird flu. Farmers and consumers need more support, and steps need to be taken to prevent a potential pandemic.

Katie Mack @astrokatie.com · Jan 23

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

* Currently paused by Executive Order
** Grant reviews now all canceled

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect

Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

Ethical farming is a tough shell to crack. Kipster's goal is to raise roosters, the brothers of the
laying hens, for meat. Due to lack of infrastructure in the US, it's not on the market yet. As an interim step, in-ovo sexing innovation brings us one big step closer
to making Kipster farms better.
