That's wonderful! The hens get to roam free and enjoy the sun. I give full support to organic egg farmers and I don't mind paying a little bit more for the eggs.
Thanks for your comment
Yeah, me too. And eggs laid by healthy, happy chickens taste a lot better too.
and for the health's sake
***** Natrually, chickens that are healthy will produce better eggs.

I'm very glad that there are farms like this, no artificial anything
Chloe Russell i want to be your freind
I love eggs but I also love chickens, and this made me happy. The eggs are bit higher the price, but I don't care, would rather support farms like yours than factories.
God bless you for the great deed. All chickens are so happy to be free. It will have the same good impact on the egg eaters who eat eggs from these farms.
This is so great! The chickens are out in nature where they should be; getting sun and exercise, eating insects and roaming. I buy organic for this very reason. Thanks for posting this.
lovely well cared for chickens they are lovely and so very nice to see chickens roaming digging etc better than being in a cage that s shared with about 4-6 other chickens very nice to this keep up the good work
I love just seeing chickens free ranging in grass like that
Love this video. Thanks for treating these living things with dignity and respect.
BRILLIANT, INTELLIGENT, CARING, Just BEAUTIFUL, what a great service to the food supply, & as stewards to nature, what lucky birds your birds are. May God bless this fair & conscientious company & make it continue to flourish. Well done, lovely healthy looking Chooks & eggs that I would purchase tomorrow if I could. Very impressive indeed. Good on ya mate!
Very good job ..... wonderful green landscape .... congratulations...!!!
Wonderful video!
I think my Irish uncle would have loved this, he was a great farmer.🌷
It's nice to see eggs that aren't coming from chickens inside of cages just big enough for them to fit in
God bless the chickens 🤘🐓👍🐔👊🐣
Now that makes me very happy to see them running around just like this and it gives life to the landscape.
Thanks for watching our videos and thanks for your comments, we are working to upload more videos of Australian Chicken farms.
for first time , how many chicken i need to start?

We have a GSP and yet he chases down foxes and kills them, he loves our chicken although he is a bird dog haha. But he protects our chicks/chickens.
DO YOU HAVE ROOSTERS?
I appreciate for your kind treatment to the chicken, giving them the healthy n happy lifestyle. Hopefully all the farmers will follow n all the governments in world will support.
collecting the eggs is easy we use Chicken Caravan Sheds, (they have videos on youtube) they are really easy to collect the eggs.
Great video. It would be awesome to have that much space for chickens.
So satisfying to hear those happy chickens sing.
Nice! I see a big dog running around.. guard I suppose (hope)
This warms my heart. I only buy the free range eggs cause I know they let the birds out a bit..plus, they're just plain better eggs. Keep up the GREAT work.
It fantastic to see how happy those hens are. I have my own hens, allowed free range. Locked up at night for safety
This is lovely, just how it should be.
I wish that the law will shut down the commercial chicken house one day. Those poor chicken have ever seen a day light from the day they were born until the day they got slaughtered. Your chicken are so happy. Happy chicken lay happy egg. Thanks for the good works
Very, very, very intelligent work!!!!!..... never seen!!!!..... bravo, bravo bravo....
Happy chickens! groovy music too....
awesome setup mate, keep up the good work!
Hello,
if you go to the "chicken caravan website" you can google them, we buy all our gear from them.
there are about 1800 birds in these 4 chicken caravans and they are in an area of about 50 metres X 150 Metres.
Great. I wanna b there in the next two years
Lovely. Nice way to keep hens! :)
Watching this video made me want to hang out with chickens and help collect the eggs.
This video was not clear at all. Actually, these are called chicken caravans. The chicken stay in there overnight and are usually transported to a new pasture while they are sleeping.
So they're not really "free range"? I feel lied to.
@@heavykiin9337 - "Free-range" is a term that refers to a method where animals are able to roam freely outdoors rather than being confined by an enclosure for 24 hours a day.
Coolest thing I've ever seen, Chicken Caravan. Thanks for sharing
Just listen to the contented he noises as he collects the eggs .
Look at all them chickens
This is MUCH better quality of life than chickens in tiny crowded cages! I would buy your eggs anytime.
LOOKING GOOD!! 👍👍❤❤
Thanks for taking care of your birds. I so rarely eat eggs because of the horrible conditions for the birds.
but I might consider buying your eggs.
I l💜ve chickens there so cute me and my brother go crazy about them
Kara-Lynn Wade . que asemos cuando in a person a Tierney ansiedad
You love them? Then why do you kill and eat them up? Do you kill and eat everyone whom you love? I hope you don't love me then...
oh, good to poutries good for the human being. They are so lovely !
Nice. Healthy chickens and eggs
Im supporting you dude
They should advertise these sorts of farming openly to compete with the advertisement for inhuman farming techniques.
they do here in the UK, its called free range.
MZhris They call it free ranged once the chickens can move around. They still can be kept in cramped conditions where it sometimes can be of worse conditions than caged farming. Sainsbury's and Waitrose use this as an tactic to deceive people into thinking that the conditions the chickens are kept in are similar to these.
Aakash Nair Inhumane treatment of chickens? what do you think happends to ALL chickens, free range and grain fed after they are no longer producing enough eggs? i'll leave that upto you to wonder....
But in the mean time educate yourself and watch the following..
☆ Cowspiracy (on Netflix)
☆ The Secret Reason We Eat Meat by Dr Melanie Joy
Choose Vegan well would you rather them live a sad life then get killed, or live a free life then get killed. Personally id prefer the latter. You can starve yourself for the sake of a bunch of chickens. But 4billion people arent willing to do the same.
Aakash Nair
This is why I buy free range eggs. Happy chooks doing what comes naturally.
the chicken caravan website sells the chicken nets, if you google chicken caravan you will find their site,
there are about 1800 birds in these 4 chicken caravans, they are in an area of about 50M X 150M
Fantastic !!!!!!!!!
The only way.
Good humans. :)))))
So Good! All egg producing chickens should be treated this way.
happy chickens:) very cool
Thats a REAL farmer
When I was a kid, many many years ago Dad ran a bunch of free range chickens (they had like 15 acres) Most of them laid in the laying boxes but some wouldn't so he trained one of his bird dogs to find (but not eat) eggs, That was my last chore of the day, to walk the fence line with Raff (dogs name) looking for eggs and we used to find a bunch. Cuz she did get one to eat at the end :) :) Never could figure out how she digested shell and all.
this video was really satisfying
That's so cool to see chickens roam free in the grass. Compared to caged up ones.
Wonderful to see birds being treated as they deserve.
They will be slaughtered after being exploited. That is what they deserve...?
Thats right.. You should be proud OxhillFarm, from another free ranger.. I know this is an older video but how often are you needing to rotate pasture with that amount of birds? Love your setup.
In an area of about 50m x 50m for about 1 day with 1500 hens, depending on seasons the area will be bigger and sometimes with fewer hens.
the more free-range, the more happy poultry...
Love it! I eat tons of eggs in my new nutritional approach to life and longevity!
Cool!
haha look like they enjoy being in there
I feel like you kind of skipped over the part where you actually collected the eggs.
thanks
Beautiful!!!
00:14 hit it girls!
That was awesome! So many chickens....
that's the proper way to raise chickens!
GREAT !!!!!
Wow thats how chicken farms should be in America
Thank You :)
thank you for your comment
This is a good farmer....
I like the Pyrenees doin it’s job at the end
thank you for your comment.
wow!
That was brilliant!
That's awesome
Wow thats a lot of chickens!
yes about 1500 Chickens.
Wondering how they manage to teach the chickens to lay in the boxes?
In the United States this is actually not considered free range. It is called pasture raised. Free range gives hens far less space inside an outdoor enclosure connected to a hen house. Egg producers commonly use the term "free range" deceptively to make people think it's pasture raised.
A lot of comments here, not addressing the point of this video. All that video and the eggs appear on a conveyor belt, amazing and absurd.
This is the ONLY way we should treat live stocks.
Yummy .. healthy eggs.
Damnnnn those egg's 😳😳😳👌
Sono d'accordo così. Si vede che stanno bene e sono sane.Io non mangio più carne. Però mi sento di essere tollerante, con chi investe in un tipo di allevamento non intensivo e nel rispetto della vita dell'animale, finché morte non ci separi....Io sono arrivata a questo col tempo, ognuno di noi ha i propri tempi. Ma almeno che si rispetti ciò che ci da da vivere....🙏❣
The only way to go!
yeah!!!!
Do the chooks know there own houses?
Wow. These are some unstressed chickens. Thank you for the humane treatment. Great example.
Nice video. Would like to have seen how the inside of the caravan is set up for roosting. How did the eggs make their way from nesting pots to the treadmill, in other words. Is inside designed so the belt is under the nests? Someone inside picking eggs and putting them onto the belt? Looks like a really nice and sustainable operation, as well as makes for really healthier chickens and eggs. Reminds me of my youth growing up on mini-farm, and being responsible for chicken house. They had about 10 acres to wander around on freely, along with the goats and an occasional pig.
Watch The Chicken Caravan video which explains the egg laying box system.
Great stuff! Don't you have any problems with hens not using the caravan and laying eggs in to the pasture? Also, do all of them roost in the caravan?
I have no problem collecting the eggs of hens that have been allowed to be who they are...to roam in the sunshine scratching and pecking as they please. But I find it APPALLING to cage them up, stealing their eggs without so much as offering them room to stretch their wings. That's slavery. Thank you for treating your girls with more respect than that.
that's alot of chickens, and eggs o.0 that must be a pain to collect all of those
That is how farms should be but unfortunately many farms make cruel conditions for the animals.
i am really happy to see this.after two years i will start the same business but one thing is alwayes disturbed me in the night how u can live all this dogs will take care,please let me know,
I think they raise the dog up with the chickens. One of the best breeds are Great Pyrenees, they protect the chickens and even sometimes think they are a chicken. They are very common for free range chicken properties, and will save you a fortune in you live stock (Chickens). Good luck with your quest for a free range chicken farmer. Also where do you think you will set up? Great places to set up are near industrial areas, or areas that are just out of the city. This is because they are close to a large population that you can supply your eggs/chicken too. Transportation is quick, easy and cheap. Also land in those areas are cheap, also setting up on a rail way line can help for transportation of Feed.
i have 1000 sq meter are which is enough to keep broiler and layers but expert suggest we cant keep broler and layers altogether advice me
sajid SIDDIQUI You don't want to keep broilers and layers together because depending on your source for the broilers, they usually carry diseases that your layers don't need exposed to. Broilers are also bred to be biologically different than layers in that they have much shorter life expectancy.
They are bred to mature extremely quickly, to the point where if allowed to live too long, they will develop leg and heart problems problems because they cannot support their own body's rapid growth over an extended period of time. You will need to slaughter these every so many weeks, while your layers will be productive for up to 3-4 years.
If you are careful, and maintain healthy "breeders" that will supply the chicks to make up your broiler stock, that'd be great. But it's not easy for a newcomer and they have to be kept on a restricted diet to keep them alive to breeding age.
The egg laying in your layers may slow after 2 years- not always. It will be rather easy for you to maintain your own layer stock given their life expectancy is much higher.
Providing greens and a healthy diet as well as sanitary conditions are all necessary for healthy meat and eggs no matter what size the operation, and are the most important factors in keeping your poultry disease free. This needs to all be taken into account when you are making your housing plans for these birds. Good luck :)
sajid SIDDIQUI meat birds and laying birds will have different feed needs also. You will need to keep them segregated to feed them properly.
I would love to do this but we have toooooo many hawks and eagles! It’s like sudden death from above!
Like your chicken tractors and portable fencing. Is that fencing about 4 feet high?
Are the flight feathers removed to keep the hens from flying up and over the fencing?
About how many feet of fencing does it take to run that many hens?
Looks like a few hundred that you have there. They do look very contented and healthy.
Nice operation. Watch out for hawks, they are the worst!
good very good
normálna zlatá baňa :)
Like like like like Brazil!
what do you do to protect the chickens from hawks?
I'd take free range chicken and eggs over plantation crap any day of the year. All you have to do is look at the egg yolks to tell the difference in quality.
Tell your chickens if they do not lay eggs,they will be on the dinner table,that should work!!!!
i love chickens
that's a nice egg system. how does this work. You would think the eggs would crack or be damaged falling down on the conveyer.
How does he protect the chickens from predators?
I saw a dog there. That's good enough. But I'm not so sure about the aerial predators. As long as the nasty raccoon is away he'll be fine. Raccoon kills (all of the birds at once) for pleasure, while the rest just takes one and leave.
yes we have maremma dogs they will chase away eagles and foxes.
Australian Pastured Poultry Can't you add an overhead net? Or would that be futile... plus somewhat costly...
Or kill the foxes and eagles, haha
Harry Everett I actually respect those predators as they only kill and take what they need. Raccoons are mass murderers.
