Ecoeggs
Our hens graze outdoors most days on our family owned farms nestled in regional pockets of coastal New South Wales. During the day our hens roam in and out of the barn, scratch around, dust bath, flap their wings and generally take care of important chicken business.
Our hens are fed a unique diet, naturally richer in Omega 3 and certain essential vitamins. So Ecoeggs contain greatly increased levels of Omega 3, Vitamin E, B12 and Vitamin D compared to an ordinary egg, as well as being a good source of Folate, Selenium, and Iodine.
Ecoeggs are available in a 550g carton of 10 large size eggs.
We have researched a special patented diet for our hens, a balanced diet boosted with natural supplements rich in good Omega fats and certain essential vitamins. Ecoeggs are an ideal food for anyone who generally cares about their health and what they eat.
Two ecoeggs provide 28% AI (Adequate Daily Intake) of Omega-3.
