Our hens
Laying hens: ISA Brown from Hendrix Genetics.
Soon after their birth at Avipro, when they are just tiny little chicks, our farmers take them under their wings and bring them to their new home: Starponte farms.
Once settled, the chicks are regularly checked by our technicians for the next 16 weeks to make sure they are comfortable, eating properly and getting enough sunlight to grow into happy and healthy laying hens. Once fully grown, the hens have a laying period of 90 weeks.
We care for each hen on a personal level: pick any one of them and we could tell you their whole family tree, quite literally.
Hens’ diet
Our chickens are fed a healthy, plant-based diet, with meals consisting mainly of cereals, corn and soya. But it doesn't stop there!
For their optimum well-being, we also enrich their meals with vitamins and minerals (especially calcium and phosphorus), as well as thyme and rosemary essential oils for their gut health.
They also love feasting on marigolds – one of the main reasons behind their intensely rich yolk.
When putting together our hens’ diet, we also greatly benefit from our mother brand’s extensive experience in the production of feed. But, more than great nutrition, we really want our hens to love their food.
This is why we work with MiXscience, in France, renowned for their excellent formulations and high-quality produce, and created our own certification encompassing ISO, HACCP and the industry’s best practices.
