Set in the Aberdeenshire countryside, Logie Newton is home to one of our free-range flocks. On the farm our girls have plenty of space to roam and explore the outdoors, spending their days foraging across the range.
Free range life is part of the daily routine at Logie Newton. Every day our hens can head outdoors to roam and explore the farmland around them.
Over 900 trees help create a varied and natural outdoor environment for the hens to explore. Trees also help create places where hens can express natural behaviours such as foraging and dustbathing, an important part of a hen’s routine and a sign that she feels comfortable in her surroundings.
Logie Newton sits close to Ythan Wells, an area with a fascinating history dating all the way back to Roman times.
The remains of two Roman camps have been identified nearby, believed to date from the late 1st century AD. This means our hens are roaming in a part of Aberdeenshire that people have been passing through for almost 2,000 years.
