Due to the disruption to egg supply we now have a 4 x carton purchase limit on eggs.

NASAA certified organic, which means the chicken must be free-range, be fed certified organic feed - feed which has no added hormones, no antibiotics - and not be exposed to any artificial fertilisers or pesticides on the pasture or in the grains the chickens eat (even from surrounding farms). GMOs (genetically modified organisms) are also restricted entirely for organic standard compliance.

Due to the strict certification regulations and unlike most free-range chooks or 'barn laid' chickens, Madelaine's certified organic chicks must also be fed organic feed from the time that they are hatchlings.

Madelaine must raise her chicks from 24 hours old, doing so in the Hollyburton orchards. As they grow, they are moved out into the grassy paddocks where they are put into a rotational grazing system for the next three years.

They live peacefully in these paddocks with a herd of certified organic Murray Grey beef cattle as well as a family of Hollyburton-raised Maremma dogs that protect the chickens from foxes, feral cats, snakes, hawks and other threats to their wellbeing.

Each hen is free to roam throughout their paddock, foraging a healthy banquet of bugs, grass, wild plant heads and leafy greens and dust bathing in the soft ground. Just as if they were in the wild.
