My almost wild chickens eat everything, they do get some feed but they will always devour fresh green vegetables first. Broccoli, cauliflower, peas, squash, corn, pumpkins, leafy greens, sprouts, grass, CLOVERS! all the grains when they're green. Beautiful delicious eggs.
Totally agreed. Free range chicken and Pastured Free Range chicken should not be confused. The government have to do something about it. This to protect the farmers.
Frankly, 10,000 is an insult to the consumers intelligence and sense of fairness. The politicians who approve such an outrage need to be brought to the forefront, exposed, and voted out. Truly outrageous. There’s not a blade of grass on that lot. Not an insect anywhere to be found.
Politicians are acting on behalf of their constituents. The consumer wants cheap eggs and doesn't care about the health or welfare of the hen or environment. If people stopped buying caged hen eggs the producer would have to stop this horrific method of producing food. I assume people want cheap food so they can spend their money on Netflix and junk food.
@@SamStone1964 You honestly think people believe that free range is the dirt lot? I'd argue meaningful access to the outdoors means more than just a door to a shit covered dirt paddock.
On the flip side the land also benefits from the chook poo as they rotate around. They scratch the cow manure and spread it around. Best way to farm having sheep or cows first and 4 days later the chickens.
Thats why so called "free range" chickens are meant to have covered areas to scramble into besides their coop, because if they don't many are too well "chciken" to even go outside hence not being true freerange. Hot weather is also a problem many just stay inside because it's far too hot to go out. So ten thousand chcickens just stay mostly squashed in the coop because of not enough shade outside fot them just bare earth. or even enough doors in the coop to get out but still feel safe. If we still had giant Pterodactylus flying around with ninety huge sharp teeth I guess you would also be very much a chicken.
Why are we not talking about the food quality side of eggs. Pastured reared chickens eggs are now regarded as super health food and come under fremented food which helps K2 vitamins do there job.
Yes. And unless the consumer cares more about the hen the producers will continue to get away with such atrocious conditions being labelled as the presumed healthy free range.
Clearly he believes that pesticide drenched corn and wheat crushed up and heat treated into pellets are healthier than insects, small animals, greens and sprouts.
Why is it then that farmers of birds kept indoors get penalised if there are sparrows (for example) in their sheds (risk of disease and parasites being introduced), but pasture farms can have feeders out in the open with no way of preventing wild bird access? Surely this increases the risk of disease and parasite introduction...
No they are ISA Browns. A high production hybrid hen that lays almost every day from around 5 months old to 18 months old when they are usually killed. They have a lifespan of around 2 to 3 years or a bit longer in decent conditions.
Johnson Hunter shows what a crock Dion Andary is talking when he says: "chickens don't really eat grass or feed on the pasture" rather than on supplied feeds Hunter says, chickens love being released on new pasture & the chickens consumption of supplied feed drops markedly Andary sounds like a businessman protecting his profits & nothing else No way Days eggs, or any producers like Days, should be called "Free Range" as they are fenced in to the same dusty grass free areas on a daily basis, "Cage free" should be the term used for Days, or similar eggs Imagine what happens to that dusty area when it rains? While Days eggs chickens are better off than their caged cousins, "Free Range" is not a term they should be allowed to use As stated in this story, mass producers have hi-jacked the term "free Range" to scam the market & consumers Animal welfare needs to come first & ppl need to be better educated re all food production methods involving animals of any sort peace M
Yes of course they eat grass but here's the thing they prefer new tender grass which is also highest in protein. So they tend to nip off the ends of grass then move on, this is why the eat the most the first day on new pasture and less and less as the days go on, this doesnt apply to alfalfa and clover which they eat the whole broad leaf. I guess there is science to pasture maintenance for chickens, I would say keeping the grass short and growing almost like you do a lawn would be the best best as new grass would always be pushing through the mowed grass, but I don't honestly know.

Hi there, I am Hari from Nepal. I am coming Australia for 1 year in October. I would like to work in chicken/goat firm to learn about it. I would be happy if you have any related job for me.
10 000/hectare on pure dust. Wonder of this has changed in six years. The EU definition is 2,500/hectare and the land must be mainly covered in vegetation, This means the chckens will have to be rotated to maintain that vegetation in the EU. I buy "Zealand Free Range, Animal Welfare foods" Eggs these are imported into Hong Kong. The box shows very low density Chickens dotted around green pastures. However on their web site there is no mention of them recieving pasture at all, just "fresh air and sunshine". Is this a lie I'm wondering, false advertising on the box. They certainly do taste very nice and have a lovely colour yolk. I would prefer their "Always poachable" eggs but we don't get them. And what is a "bio" egg? Another one of their products with no explanation, "bio" means nothing far as I can tell. I'm assume always poachable just means these are the freshest eggs possible, delivered distributed on the day of lay or as close to it as possible, sadly this is not all ther eggs and ones i buy are aimed at "families" which by the sounds of it don't eat poached maybe? LOL so can get older eggs?. Thing is consummers just don't know what they're getting when these terms have no clear industry meaning and regulation. ZealndEggs also don't in fact say who is auditing their farms, just that its apparently an independant audit, however that could be anyone. "Animal Welfare Foods" it seems are owned by "Zealand" cant work this one out, inscrutible and thats the problem.
Wow so that second farmer who claims to have free range eggs also kills livestock on his farm? That should be noted for customers as most want free range because they don't want to be part of animal cruelty.
all egg layer chickens get killed eventually when their production is lower, killing them on the farm causes less stress as they are not being transported and moved into a slaughter house.
ISA browns and other high production hybrid layers are killed at around 18 months as their egg laying drops off. They are short lived hens with a life span of around 2 to 3 years or a bit longer in decent conditions. In an ideal world they would be phased out.
@@jackward770 Hi Jack, in an ideal world we wouldn't develop animals to be high production food producers. ISA Browns reproductive systems never rest in their short lives and as a result they are prone to develop many health issues including vent prolapse, cancers and tumours. Kind of like the McDonald's of the poultry world. Fast and cheap but unhealthy for the consumer and environment and especially the bird.
You are funny... They worry about chickenz..... yet they cruelly keep dogs under house arrest with no rights to mate with other dogs or freedom to socialise being fed commercial diets and vet dependent
Oh my goodness, a farmer that has time for a coffee shop as well.. I cant watch anymore.. any farmer that has time for that isnt really farming is he??? isnt it more of a tourist attraction?? with a few dingy egg layers? cant watch anymore... good luck.
10:50 not a blade of grass in sight. You stole the marketing term and the integrity / spirit of the term - do your own marketing and stop riding on others coat tails. Go find your own market.

We are trying to make the life of the chicken comfortable while maintaining the profitability of the farm. Guwahati, India.
On the flip side the land also benefits from the chook poo as they rotate around. They scratch the cow manure and spread it around. Best way to farm having sheep or cows first and 4 days later the chickens.
sheep aren't ordinarily allowed to be around commercial hens or chicken sheds
Greetings, how do you go about antibiotics and other medicines? Farms in my area are heavy on this industrial farming.
The chickens spot a hawk flying overhead, they scurry away to the protection of their sheds, that's why they are called chickens.
hahaha. its true, and funny
🤣🤣🤣

Woah, they are trying to defend caged eggs. BROTHER GO LIVE IN A CAGE AND SEE IF YOU LIKE IT!
Days eggs should be considered factory eggs.
Yes. And unless the consumer cares more about the hen the producers will continue to get away with such atrocious conditions being labelled as the presumed healthy free range.
What happens to the baby male chickens
Very Nice 💪
Very nice farm
Great.
Raise your own and call them what you like
My question is what if these hens lay eggs on the grass while they are outside how you find the eggs
You lose the eggs, and it goes back into the soil or an animal eats it
Most hens like to lay eggs in specific places
Lmfao then what did chicken eat before pellets where made 🤣😋😋

Misinformation. The cost of production is so high mostly because of the expensive supplemental feed, not because of the reasons this reported stated.
