We offer laying hens of the breed LOHMANN BROWN. The Lohmann Brown (Classic) is the leading layer in the market.

Our one-day-old chicks are from the proven producer BULAGRO AD, a company whose name is a guarantee for its high quality of bird. In the period of adolescence, until the age of 16 weeks we apply a strict vaccination programme which is carefully implemented at chick stage, this prevents diseases from occurring within flocks and reduces the need for any medication to be administered at a later stage. With continuous and consistent weighing of birds – This provides constant daily data from which performance can be analysed.
The care and welfare of our laying hens are of the utmost importance to us. Our customers can enjoy peace of mind in the knowledge that our farms apply best practice in hen well-being at every stage of our hens’ lives. Improving the quality of egg production begins with chick and pullet rearing.
