Hens

 

Our 24,000 organic laying hens are producing eggs for Lintz Hall and sold locally through organic box schemes, Tullys in Rothbury, Bays leap and the Spar at Thropton. 

They live in two purpose-built poultry houses, each with 4 flocks of 3,000.  Each organic free range flock has its own grass field of 1.5 hectares (3.7 acres) with hedging and trees specially planted for them.  The eggs are collected daily, with any spare being sold locally to farm shops and organic box schemes.

Our hens are fed organic feed and have access to feed, water and their ranges throughout the day (except when housed under a housing order to protect them against Avian Influenza).

We are inspected regularly in order to sell our eggs under the Lion Code, RSPCA Assured and as organic.  The welfare of our birds is paramount, as happy hens lay lovely eggs.

Eggs are a fantastic source of protein, Vitamin D and rich in vitamins and minerals.  For more information on eggs and how they can be part of your daily diet please visit https://www.egginfo.co.uk/
