At Ballut Farm Ltd we strive to keep our hens in top conditions to make sure our process is safe for them and for our clients who eventually purchase the final egg product. Our farm is split in other different farms according to the type of egg process and is inspected every 2 weeks by our Vet. Also the Maltese Veterinary Department and other private laboratories carry out regular checks randomly for salmonella and other diseases.

As our tiny chicks start growing healthily in our pullet farms around Malta their first feathers also start showing. In the pullet farms, chicks are at the point of lay. They start laying their first eggs at 16 weeks old. Their small eggs are known as pullet eggs.
