BC Egg - Organic Barn Tour

This video takes you through a cage-free, organic egg laying barn. You'll meet Darren, our farmer from Chilliwack, BC, and see his feed mill and his organic egg farm. He'll show you how the hens are housed, fed and cared for.

This is a farm I would definitely support and deserves to do great because of how well they care for the chickens

[@otivaeey]

State of the art layer farm, bravo!

[@hassanrwp2043]

Good information.

[@gezakaracs220]

Hi! You change your clotes and shoes befor you go in, to protect the birds, but is it not a bigger danger for the chickens that, they can meet other birds and rats who carry the diseases which is harmful for the chickens? Thanks

[@Bcegg]

Hi Geza. You're correct - free range and organic birds are more at risk from wild birds and rodents than their indoor counterparts. That said, our farmers take steps to protect them by fencing the outdoor spaces, and carefully managing rodents on-farm. There are always trade-offs when farming, but each housing system and farm type have measures in place to mitigate risks to the hens, to keep them safe and healthy.

Do you offer training to young farmers?

[@rociolondero2475]

Nice video. I'm curious about the hens, what do you do with them once they stop laying eggs? Thanks.

[@Bcegg]

Hi Rocio. That's an excellent question! Once the hens reach the end of their laying cycle, they are humanely euthanized and processed into food products like chicken noodle soup, or into pet food, or garden fertilizer. Nothing is wasted.

Hello, please this is a very huge investment relative to the density of the birds, any particular reason? Who designed and build the installation? Do you allow physical tour?

[@artistvlog2149]

where can i find information about chickens. if i can have backyard chickens and if it's legal to have backyard chickens

[@Bcegg]

Hi Nick, thanks for your question! To sort out if you're allowed to have backyard chickens you'll have to reach out to your local municipality. The local bylaws will be what determines if you're permitted to have chickens, and how many you're allowed.

Supplement feeds are allowed in free range organic?

[@anthonymoser46]

Yes just can not have animal by products in it same feed just no bone meal in it

[@Bcegg]

Hi Joe. So long as the feed components are certified organic, they can be fed to organic hens. When we talk about "supplements" to hen feed we're talking about additional vitamins and minerals, to ensure they're getting a healthy, well balanced feed. If you'd like more information, check out our website at BCEgg.com.

Hi there. Soy is actually a really great source of protein for the birds. It's a very common feed component.
