The SCHWARZWALD PANORAMA sources their eggs and other foodstuffs such as meat, lentils and potatoes from the Biohof Reiser in Straubenhardt, which rears Bruderhahn. But what exactly does this mean?
Due to selective breeding, 2 main breeds of chicken have been developed over the last 80 years from the original domestic chicken. Chickens are bred either on laying performance or on meat production performance. For fattening, male or female animals are reared; the only important thing is to gain weight as quickly as possible.
The male animals in the laying breeds are “useless” as they can neither lay eggs nor quickly gain weight and are therefore worthless and normally killed immediately after hatching.
Biolandhof Reiser tries to break new ground with the breed “Sandy”. The female animals lay fewer eggs, but the male animals gain weight a little faster – this is the Bruderhahn, or brother rooster. This compromise is only profitable if a higher price can be achieved for both the eggs and the slaughtered chicken.
Therefore, this concerns us as consumers! It is up to us how animals are treated. It is not always about cheaper, but about animal welfare and quality!
The SCHWARZWALD PANORAMA thus consciously decides against the ethically reprehensible killing of chicks and supports the regional organic farm Biohof Reiser in Straubenhardt.
