The stocking density for newly contracted Organic units is 6 birds per square metre. The maximum flock size is 3000 birds per flock under The Organic Farmers and Growers and 2000 birds under Soil Association.

Substantially increased margins can be generated from Organic flocks, as illustrated above. However you must take into account that the poultry house costs are significantly increased due to the lower stocking density in the Organic chicken units.
