pasture raised eggs

Our hens rule the roost! Our pasture raised laying hens have unlimited access to the outdoors - sunshine, fresh forage, dirt baths and all the best bugs. At night they tuck themselves into their stylish egg mobile, kitted with roosting space and nesting boxes for egg laying. The mesh floor of the egg mobile means all droppings fall through onto the grass below, keeping the egg mobile squeaky clean for our ladies while also fertilising the grass for their next visit. The egg mobile is moved to fresh grass every couple of days, ensuring hygienic conditions and thus avoiding the need for any medications.

A large electro-net secures the area ensuring the hens are protected while also maximising their impact on a given area. Their scarifying, scratching and dirt bathing gently aerate the soil. On top of all of this, they lay gorgeous golden-yolked eggs - naturally orange yolks from the grass diet. Most commercial layer feeds contain some colourants to ensure golden eggs. Our feed does not. The diet of our hens is supplemented with 100% hormone, medication, and antibiotic free feed, produced especially for us. Finding anything better than these eggs is like hen’s teeth!
