Thankfully, having been confined to their sheds and a small netted outdoor run since November 1st, last Tuesday April 18th our chickens were allowed back out into the whole of their field. They are loving the green grass and freedom. DEFRA decided that the risk of avian influenza had reduced enough to allow captive birds to go outside again. Our eggs can now again be labelled as "free range" rather than "barn eggs", and are available in our farm shop and at Sennen and St. Just farmer's markets, priced at £2.30 per half dozen. We feed our chickens on an expensive brand of GM-free soya-free chemical-free feed.
