How our hens actually live
THE PASTURE RAISED METHOD · HOW IT SHOULD BE
No fixed sheds. No overcrowding. Just open pasture, fresh ground every day, and a farming system built around the land rather than against it.
Kingsclere Estates is a working organic farm on the chalk downland of the North Wessex Downs. The fields grow grass and herbal leys — a mix of chicory, clover and grasses designed to feed the soil as much as the animals grazing on it.
No chemical fertilisers. No pesticides. Just land farmed the way land should be farmed.
Our hens are part of that system. They follow the dairy herd, moving onto fresh pasture every few days. What looks like a simple arrangement is actually one of the most effective ways to farm well.
