At Barastoc we firmly believe in putting the chicken before the egg. More than 75 years of experience in feeding poultry has taught us that healthy, happy and well-nourished chooks produce better eggs more often – which means more delicious, nutritious breakfasts for you!
Keeping chooks is incredibly rewarding, and with a little guidance anyone can do it – some of the best backyarders are, after all, kids!
The Barastoc website has been developed to help all backyard poultry owners – from first-timers to experienced backyarders – to get the most from their feathered friends. It provides practical information on how to feed and care for backyard flocks, whether they be laying hens, show birds or mixed flocks that include turkeys, ducks and other poultry.
The help we offer includes the Barastoc Chook Book, articles of interest to those that love and care for poultry, our learning centre, information on the Barastoc range of complete, balanced and nutritious feeds, and a store locator to find the nearest stockist to you.
THE BARASTOC TEAM BRINGS TOGETHER LEADING POULTRY NUTRITIONISTS AND A RANGE OF SPECIALISTS IN POULTRY CARE, INCLUDING RESEARCHERS SEEKING TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW NUTRITION CAN HELP CHICKENS REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.
We’re passionate about our chooks and we’re always looking for new ways to share the art (and the science) of “backyarding”.
Our advice is always aimed at improving and maintaining the health and wellbeing of your flock – and you can be sure that if we recommend it, we’ve tried it ourselves. Barastoc’s team includes expert backyarders who know firsthand what it takes to maintain a happy, healthy flock of laying hens, at all stages of life.
