-
other farmers (to run alongside their current enterprises),
-
smallholders and
-
prospective farmers (hens are a great introduction to livestock farming!).
ABOUT PASTURE RANGE
Pasture range egg farming is the practice of housing laying hens in a mobile structure which allows the hens to be moved on a regular basis.
This increases the welfare of the hen, decreases the need for waste removal, eliminates veterinary intervention and creates a superior nutritional value of the egg.
Get Started
Mobile Hen offers future egg farmers a turn key entry into egg production.
The unit comes fitted out with a specific bars for the hens to roost on, a rollaway nesting box system with conveyor belt collection, solar panels with programmable light settings and automatic door opening, drinkers, feeders and an automatic water supply.
Mobile Hen units fit seamlessly into other agricultural units. The hens can follow after cattle, sheep, horses or goats have grazed pasture. The hens spread the animal manure and break parasitic cycles by consuming larvae.
They also leave behind their own valuable fertiliser in the form of organic manure - applied without any need for machinery.
Farming using this method of holistic grazing is said to capture more carbon in soils, create more organic matter and increase fertility without the need for synthetic fertilisers.
