Happy Hens
At Mulloon Creek Natural Farms, we’ve been giving our hens the best life possible since we began producing our pasture-raised, free-range eggs on our regenerative production system in 2004.
We keep less than 250 hens per hectare, far exceeding the organic standard of 1,500 hens per hectare, as well as the Australian Government’s free-range maximum of 10,000. Periodically, we also run cattle through each paddock to keep the grass down and add fertility to the soil. The hens love scratching around in the manure for tasty bugs, spreading this natural fertiliser across the paddock as they go.
Our hens eat a diet of chemical, soy and GMO-free grains, Calci Grit, and forage for bugs, grubs, worms and grasses in the paddock.
All our feed is sustainably sourced and milled on farm.
After a day of roaming free in their paddocks our hens return to their mobile hen houses to roost at night.
Our hens are ISA Browns and are constantly under the watchful eye of their Maremma guardian dogs who are specially bonded to each flock.
Our eggs are verified Land to Market and our pastures are farmed using biodynamic preparations.
