Nice to meet you. I am the Chief Egg Officer of Kipster and welcome to my farm. Let’s dive into some highlights.
Kipster Chicken
Chief Egg Officer
Our farm’s futuristic form follows its function of allowing us to roam outside or in an indoor playground filled with daylight and fresh air. With such a varied and enriched environment, our beaks do not need to be trimmed.
We enjoy the sunshine, fresh air and the joy of unfettered exploration, within the secure confines of the farm, protected from predators.
We have a well-ventilated safe area that ensures a peaceful night’s rest for all of us. With comfy nests, designed to provide maximum comfort.
Essential tools for daily beak maintenance, enabling us to peck with precision. Our beaks remain untouched and untrimmed in a natural state.
Our farm is dotted with haybales, serving both as a source of entertainment and a dietary supplement.
Our grooming routine includes regular visits to the dust bath spa, a natural method for cleaning our feathers.
Every morning, the farmers scatters feed, so we can enjoy pecking around all day long.
Elevated perches and wooden structures are thoughtfully placed, offering us ample opportunities to climb and and survey our domain from a bird’s-eye view.
Unfortunately, they can’t build the ideal living environment for us. They always must make compromises, because otherwise my eggs would become too expensive.
There are always exceptions, but most chickens aren’t looking for cuddles, so they only pick us up when it’s absolutely necessary. When they gather the older chickens to make room for the young, they carefully lift us around the breast and wing area to minimize stress and pain. They never hold us upside down by our feet – a practice that can traumatize us – and they never carry more than two chickens at once. They learned this gentle method from Eyes on Animals.
How can we elevate excellence and improve animal welfare?
In close collaboration with scientists and animal welfare organizations, the Kipster Farm was designed for our needs. We are forest birds, and the farm is set up for us to carry out our natural behaviors as much as possible.
