Pastured Layers

---

We have several different breeds of laying hens, all provide us with excellent eggs rich in nutrients. They stay in a mobile coop at night but during the day range within electric netting that protects them from ground predators. We re-use the pallets to provide additional shade and protective cover from aerial predators.

We relocate the mobile coop and protective netting every few weeks to allow them access to fresh forage. This also allows the pasture to recover from their scratching and to absorb the nutrients the hens leave behind.

We don't currently plan to increase our egg production capability so do not sell our eggs.
