Jalbirri Googums Products & Services
Our hens are truly free range
With a maximum of one bird per 14 square meters (compared to the free range industry standard of 1 bird per square meter!)
Our free range birds are free to roam
Sunbake, have dirt baths as well as enjoy a varied diet consisting of insects, grasses, and weeds. (They are not at all encased in a giant shed for most of the day.)
Freshest eggs, collected daily
Delivered as a free range product no longer than 7 days old.
We do not de-beak the birds
We do not condone this practice (it is necessary for some egg production businesses) however for us and our true free range practice it isn’t necessary and we choose not to de-beak. The practice of de-beaking originated in conventional systems to prevent cannibalism (and death) due to overcrowding, boredom and not having the room to escape harassment from other birds.
The yolk colour will vary
Depending on the changing seasons and grasses available for consumption throughout the year. Drought and frosts on the plains will affect the grasses growth and availability. There are NO additives in our chook feed to produce a brighter yolk.
We support local businesses too
We purchase our birds as point of lay pullets from a local breeder, and our layer mash is sourced locally
Our hens are able to behave naturally
As chooks should with a “pecking order” (hierarchy between birds). Having plenty of room to roam, the lower hierarchy birds are able to escape the “bosses” if needed (due to minor harassment which is normal behaviour).
Commercial deliveries 1-2 times per week to various restaurants and retailers.
