Our chickens live in specially designed houses that are moved throughout the paddock, ensuring that our chooks always have access to fresh feed for them to scratch, forage and run through.

Our chickens are fed a GMO-free pellet mix as a staple part of their diet, along with whatever other goodies they find in their paddock.
