Where You'll Find Us

FREE RANGE EGGS ARE CHEAPER TO GROW THAN BUY

EAT: Four young laying hens housed in our chicken tractor will eat 400grams of layer pellets per day. A 20 kilogram bag of layer pellets costs approximately $10.00 and over the course of a year they will consume 9 bags, costing $90 per year.

LAY: Each day four laying hens will lay approximately 3 eggs, totalling 89 dozen eggs per year. In a supermarket free range eggs cost approximately $5 per dozen. Therefore you have just produced $445 worth of eggs for just $90.

SAVE: Every year you keep your chickens in our chicken tractor you get to enjoy beautiful fresh eggs and a HUGE saving of $355!
