Chicken Amalie

Daniel | Chicken

Daniel became an Aiderbichler as a three-year-old cockerel and thus escaped slaughter. He and other cockerels spent their lives in a riding stable and should have been killed because they were a nuisance there.

Bronx | Chicken

Bronx is one of 22 chickens that we were able to take in. An animal lover lived with ponies and chickens on a farm that she now has to leave. She asked us to take in her charges. We tried to find space and were able to take in all 22 of her chickens. The…

Ida | Chicken

Ida, Lotti, Gisela, Henriette and Kiki were put out to pasture and were to be slaughtered. They were laying hens and were not kept well. The task of laying hens is to lay eggs. This is often done under terrible circumstances. If, for whatever reason, the hens no longer perform as well as they should,…

Giovanni | Chicken

An animal lover contacted us. She told us about a rooster that was roaming around her neighborhood. As it is the middle of winter and there is a busy road in the immediate vicinity, the animal lover was worried that something worse could happen to the rooster. The Gut Aiderbichl team set off to take…

Paulina | Chicken

Paulina is one of the young laying hens that have been put out to pasture. Every year we take in young hens whose laying performance is declining. It is important to consider in good time what should happen to laying hens at the end of their laying period. Killing and disposing of them via the…

Henry | Chicken

Henry had to leave his coop in an urban area because he was crowing. Well, that's just the way roosters are. There were two options for the young rooster Henry: either he would be euthanized or he could become an Aiderbichler. The latter saved Henry's life and we enjoy Henry's crowing every day with all…

Kim | Chicken

Kim is a hybrid laying hen - Hybrid chick production is almost exclusively carried out by large-scale industries. Hybrid hens differ from traditional breeds in that they are kept for meat production and produce a high yield. Hybrid laying hens need about two kilograms of feed to produce one kilogram of eggs. Old breed hens…

Oreo | Chicken

Oreo, Marshmallow, Mary and Sumatra led a great chicken life with an animal-loving family. At some point, a fox decided to reduce the number of chickens and ate one after the other. The family asked Dieter Ehrengruber to take in the remaining four chickens. So Marshmallow, Oreo, Mary and Sumatra became Aiderbichl chickens and now…

Korbinian | Chicken

Korbinian is a broiler chicken - In chicken fattening, a distinction is made between conventional floor, free-range and organic farming. In conventional farming, broilers are kept in barns. Austria is the leader in terms of space, as Austrian chickens have up to 40 percent more space than the European average. In free-range systems, the animals…

Blue | Chicken

Blue is a born Aiderbichler. His mother hid in the hay store and devotedly hatched her eggs. At Gut Aiderbichl Schroffnergut, he is allowed to pursue his needs all day long and never has to worry about anything happening to him. Fortunately, nobody is interested in the noise here either.

Kölze | Chicken

An Aiderbichler turned to us for help. His son-in-law was the proud owner of 40 chickens. Among them, however, were nine roosters. The boys were making life very difficult for each other and unfortunately some of the cockerels had to go. The man asked us to take them in because slaughtering them was out of…

Sido | Chicken

An Aiderbichl resident saved Sido the cockerel from being slaughtered. But she couldn't keep the rooster with the loud voice herself and turned to Gut Aiderbichl. Fortunately, here at Gut Aiderbichl Carinthia, no one crows about how loud our animals are. Here they are allowed to be who they are. Please support us with a…
