COUNTRY Brown 

The TETRA COUNTRY is a brown-feathered, brown egg layer hybrid developed primarily for alternative housing systems, free-range and organic egg production. Thanks to its excellent livability, robust body structure and reliable production performance, the breed is becoming an increasingly popular choice in modern alternative egg farming.

With changing consumer expectations, the demand for eggs produced in more natural farming systems continues to grow worldwide. During the development of the TETRA COUNTRY, special emphasis was placed on adaptability to free-range and alternative conditions while maintaining stable production and good egg quality throughout a long laying cycle.

Thanks to its calm temperament, strong adaptability and robust constitution, the TETRA COUNTRY provides an easy-to-manage and reliable flock under different production systems. The breed is especially suitable for non-beak-trimmed management, supporting modern animal welfare expectations in egg production.

The TETRA COUNTRY is an ideal choice for producers looking for a more natural, sustainable and long-term profitable egg production solution.
