Free range eggs, 30 odd hens?


Recommended Posts

Ok, I've been asked to provide 24 ish eggs per day for a local campsite between April and November. They want free range and party coloured eggs and are willing to pay a premium.

I have plenty of room and would ideally like to move them regularly as part of my land clearance system. 

I am thinking electric mesh perimeter for day time with a heras fencing chicken fort protected by more electric around the coop. Also planning to fit an auto door to the coop.

I would also like to produce some meat birds for the same market.

The farm is covered in scrub and full of foxes so it's going to be a challenge keeping them alive. 

All and any advice gratefully recieved
