At Begawan Biji, good food begins long before it reaches the kitchen.
It starts on the land, with how we care for our animals, especially our laying hens.

We believe healthy animals come from respectful environments. Our hens are never confined to cages. Instead, they live in open shelters with access to pasture, shade, and sunlight. Our hens are cage-free and pasture-raised, free to move, forage, dust-bathe, and behave as chickens naturally should. They spend their days roaming open ground, scratching through soil, grasses, and fallen leaves, contributing to a living, balanced ecosystem.

This freedom reduces stress, supports stronger immune systems, and results in healthier birds and better eggs. What our hens eat matters just as much as where they live.

This freedom reduces stress, supports stronger immune systems, and results in healthier birds and better eggs. What our hens eat matters just as much as where they live.

Their diet includes:
• Whole rice grains and kitchen trimmings
• Locally sourced Fish bones are repurposed for natural calcium and minerals
• Black soldier fly (BSF) larvae, a sustainable, high-protein feed
• Seasonal greens and insects they forage themselves

We do not use:
• GMO feed
• Artificial growth enhancers
• Synthetic additives or colouring agents

Our feeding practices are part of a regenerative cycle.

Every element of their diet is chosen to reflect what chickens are meant to eat, not what is cheapest or fastest. It is a system designed to waste less, nourish more, and work in harmony with the land.

The eggs our hens lay are a reflection of their lives – naturally vibrant yolks, strong shells, and honest flavour. But beyond taste, they represent something deeper: a commitment to transparency, animal welfare, and thoughtful food production.

“Animals Don’t Speak Human values Begawan Biji’s commitment to ensuring their chickens are genuinely pasture-raised and cage-free. Their openness and willingness to acknowledge animal protection protocols reflect strong corporate responsibility and accountability. ADSH supports every effort that prioritizes humane, ethical, and transparent treatment of laying hens” – Ranisa Ulayya from Animals Don’t Speak Human
