The chickens at Fryar’s Kangaroo
Island Free Range Eggs are living the good life. Basically
they do as they please. They reside on one of Australia’s
great unspoilt islands in mobile sheds, they roam outside
whenever they want and eat whatever they like.
It’s hen paradise – a stress-free lifestyle
that benefits consumers as well as the chickens, with fresh
eggs that are rich in flavour and protein.
They started with 400 hens and have been struggling to
keep up with consumer demand since.
Today the farm covers 1600 hectares with 44,000 hens spread
between 44 sheds. These are mobile so they can be easily
moved to areas of fresh pasture, and the hens’ diet
is supplemented by a mixture of grains that are grown, harvested
and crushed on the farm. The hens even have their own “guardians”
– Italian Maremma dogs that bond with their bird friends
as pups and become fiercely protective. The island is free
of foxes, and feral cats and eagles have learnt to keep
away. It means the chickens are never locked in their sheds,
which remain open at all times.
The farm is regularly audited by Humane Choice as True
Free Range.
About 18,000 eggs are gathered daily and stored in a cool-room
to ensure a product of excellent freshness and quality.
They are sold in shops on the island and at selected supermarkets
across Australia. Look out for the Fryar name on the carton
& the green ‘Humane Choice’ accredited logo.
Fryar’s Kangaroo Island Free
Range Eggs has been operating since 1992 when Tom and Fiona
Fryar decided they wanted to establish the ultimate free
range chicken environment.
