Recent research at North Carolina State University in the United States has shown that brown strains of laying hens are slightly heavier than white hens, no matter the housing type,whether free range or in cages. They have a better feed conversion ratio and brown birds housed cage free have a lower mortality rate compared to brown birds in cages. Selecting the right birds is the first step in setting up a successful free range farm. Check out our website and, if you are serious, read our eBook on running your own farm.
