Louise Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/south_of_scotland/7136075.stm This has been ongoing for a while now The guy that owns the egg farm can't produce enough free range eggs to satisfy customer demands but the new farm he bought is in a village and the residents are complaining The current farm is in the middle of a moor and the sheds are designed for barn/battery but he wants to move over to free range They put up two sheds a while back and one of them was burned down (no birds inside ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daywalker Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Perhaps they would prefer a battery farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 Crazy isn't it I know the farmer he is in it for the money but he wants to have his birds free range because it mmakes more money but he is struggling to get people to accept it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Maybe a leaflet drop is in order spelling out the benefits of free range - it may sway a few folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
