10 golden reasons to get your Chicken Camp and Join Herbazal1. ANIMAL WELFARE
Chickens are allowed access to fresh pasture every day where they find bugs, eat grass, take sun to produce Vitamin D, breath fresh air and are able to scratch and peck freely as part of the natural instinctive routines just like they did 100 years ago before they were placed inside industrial cages for conventional egg farming. During night the Chicken Camp provides shelter for the chickens in the perches installed along the unit. Weather, wind, temperature, humidity are monitored 24/7 to keep the farmer in touch with the hens ensuring their comfort all the time.
2. FERTILIZING FIELDS IN A NATURAL WAY
The use of chemical fertilizers has a severe impact in the biodiversity and nature by polluting underground water reservoirs and increasing the CO2 footprint. 60-70% of the cost of food goes to production inputs in the form of chemical fertilizers, oil/gas, pesticides, transport, etc. Our chicken nesting trailer reduces these trends by promoting rotational farming with low impact to our ecosystem and that is beneficial to the land. How? Chickens droppings are so rich in nitrogen that in turn boosts pasture growth, chickens also tend to aerate the soil and control pests in a natural regenerative cycle, it’s simple, rotational farming puts less stress on the land.
3. SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
The Chicken Camp is an automated and self-sufficient mobile trailer equipped with solar panels, it transmits data in real time such as egg production, temperature, wind, humidity and food levels, allowing the farmer to be in contact with his flock from anywhere, anytime. Also Chicken Camp collects, stores and filters rainwater turning it into clean and fresh water for the chickens. You can almost turn any land into a Chicken Camp production system.
4. SUPPORTING COMMUNITIES
The communities that use Chicken Camp not only manage to produce eggs in a sustainable way for self-consumption, but can also generate income by creating and developing food distribution and sales by promoting the farm to table concept. In addition, it fosters economic development through the generation of jobs in the production of poultry feed in the area.
5. MOBILE, MODULAR AND AFFORDABLE
For the small and medium farmer: A single Chicken Camp 500 is able to produce up to 150,000 pastured eggs per year and the fleet could rapidly increase as the business grows. Due to the technical advantages Chicken Camp offers in communications, all units are configured to send essential data to the palm of the hand. This feature allows to reduce workforce, as now the tendency becomes to monitor the business and less labor-intensive activities. A single person is able to collect all organic eggs and maintain up to 10 Chicken Camps in one day, also the egg collection area, nest boxes and nesting pads are easy to clean.
This concept allows small, medium and big pastured egg farmers to escalate their businesses in the blink of an eye.
6. ZERO WASTE
Pollution of soil and water derived from nutrients, pathogens and heavy metals is generally caused by poor manure management in large scale conventional egg farming industry. Chicken Camp rotational farming model is a win-win for farmer, environment and chickens. All manure deposited by chickens is converted into rich fertilizer that is then later absorbed by plants in the form of nutrients.
7. NO DEBEAKING
Debeaking is a practice that occurs in large scale egg farming industries, where chickens tend to have cannibalism behaviors due to stress, anxiety and irritation induced in high density cages or even high-density free-range systems. When chickens are raised in the Chicken Camp they are allowed to open spaces with fresh pasture, so they are busy looking for worms, inspects, taking sun baths, scratching and playing.There is absolutely no need for this horrible practice to occur.
8. NO LAND OWNERSHIP REQUIRED
The main impediment for youth to start a regenerative farming Business in America is land owership. Since Chicken Camp is fully mobile you no longer need to build costly infrastructure and fix your capital in a specific location. The land can be leased or you can just work on the land and move your investment anytime!
9. COLLECTING EGGS HAS NEVER BEEN SO EASY AND FUN! NO MORE DIRTY EGGS
As the roll away nests are set with an inclination degree, the eggs easily slide into the conveyor belt where the eggs are kept clean and fresh. Also nest gates close automatically at night preventing the hens to sleep on top of the eggs, this keeps them clean. One person can easily collect and pack up to forty dozen in one hour. Less labor, more efficiency!
