Campo Lindo Farms
Lathrop, Missouri
Here at Campo Lindo, we refer to our layer hens as "the ladies". We
have about 3600, and they keep busy supplying the Kansas City area
with Grade A Large brown eggs.
Brown Eggs - in pink cartons!
Feed: In addition to the grass, bugs and
critters they find in the pastures, the hens
also receive an all natural feed ration which
is mostly corn and soybeans. We feed NO
ANTIBIOTICS or hormones, though I like to
stress that poultry feed never contains
hormones.
Nests: The ladies come in to lay their
eggs in straw filled nests from which we
gather by hand 2 or 3 times per day.
They're funny in that they will have
their favorite nests, and will almost line
up in order to lay in that particular box
while the one right next to it is empty!
Night time: We lock the ladies in
their barn at night so that they will be
safe from nocturnal predators. We
have an abundant population of coyotes,
foxes, racoons and even opossums that
are always trying to get at them. At
dawn's first light, we open up
the nest boxes and the barn
doors. They can't wait to get
outside!
The ladies live in large barns, and they have pastures to
roam and play in. It's also a great place to hunt for
worms, crickets and other bugs! (They often have to
share the pasture with our sheep and horses, but they
don't seem to mind too much.) They come into the barn to
eat, drink, sleep, and lay eggs.
This is my first attempt at a web site. Please be patient as I work out the kinks!
