"FreeRangeEggs" news and stories

Chicken foragers

Sainsburys StoreWell who would have thought it. Chickens are descended from jungle fowl and thus are much happier foraging around in woodland; and we all want happier chickens, don't we?

The UK supermarket chain Sainsbury's is planting over a million trees for their organic and free range hens with the plan that all of their eggs will be sourced from woodlands farms. Over 30 farms are participating in the plan with the trees covering an area the size of 80 football pitches. All the tress will be indigenous species so top marks for the environmental aspects too.
