PASTURE RAISED EGGS

Our chickens are “pasture-raised,” which means they freely roam on fresh, green pasture most days of their lives. The hens are rotationally grazed between our native tree lanes, ensuring they have routine access to fresh pasture. 

They spend their days as chickens should – scratching and digging for insects, foraging for grasses and herbs and digging dust baths. There’s nothing better than seeing one of the girls fully sprawled out in a fresh dust bath, soaking up the sun. We give our chickens a chance to be chickens, which sadly isn’t the case in all but a few poultry enterprises in today’s world. 

At night, the girls retreat to the comfort of their custom Hen House which Matt built. The house is docked to next to our shed which the hens access as a range in times of wet weather. 

The hen house where the girls sleep and lay their delicious eggs is moveable with a slatted floor. This allows us to ‘harvest’ their manure routinely and spread it around pastures the hens don’t have access to. Chicken manure is the absolute best natural fertilizer and provides essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium which are vital for plant development. 

HEALTHY EGGS, HEALTHY SOIL

The hens’ diverse diet, supplemented with only organic feed, create the most nutritious eggs with intensely yellow yolks. Compared to conventionally raised eggs, our pasture raised eggs have more vitamin A, E and D and are lower in cholesterol and saturated fat. You would be hard pressed to find a happier hen in Co. Kerry, but you certainly won’t find a better egg. 

The chicken manure and impact from the chickens (scratching / dust bathing) helps to add fertility to our soil.
