The scratching chickens that are found in and around many rural households provides cheap food at practically no cost - now its also happening in city and town houses in Europe and more recently the USA.

Homes across Europe are being encouraged to keeps hens using new and innovative Chicken housing Eggs from the Eglu

The Eglu is based on a plastic, waterproof box, where the hens shelter and lay their eggs. The box is attached to an enclosed run which can be placed on a lawn allowing the chickens to scratch for insects and grass. The run has a door to allow the hens a free range in the garden when its safe.

The supplier provides organically raised hens a few weeks away from laying age and in the UK will donate 20 pounds to the Battery Hen Rescue Trust if you “save” a battery hens using you Eglu
