“Chicken in Paradise” – Hands-On Regional Marketing

A guided walk with a local expert to the current home of the “happy chickens.” Even during the walk (approx. 40 min), there’s plenty of interesting information to learn about the area. A short walk to the “happy chickens” Nora and Ottilie. Those are the names of the Bleile family’s chickens, whose flock has grown to more than six hundred members over the past three years. With their “Huhn im Glück” (Chicken in Happiness) brand, they now sell their fantastic eggs every day. And the chickens are happy. This is ensured by the specially designed mobile chicken coop, which is moved to a new location every 4–6 weeks so the birds always have plenty of space to peck and scratch. With five meals of good feed a day, combined with the lush clover grass available to them in the outdoor run, this results in the tastiest eggs. A “real taste explosion,” as the Bleile family reports. In the meantime, they offer not only eggs but also other products made in cooperation with local partners. These include, for example, fine pasta, delicious egg liqueur, and tempting chocolates. Want to meet the “happy chickens” up close and learn more about them? Then join us on a walk through Bad Krozingen to the mobile chicken coop, where you’ll meet the three roosters and the clucking ladies. Mrs. Bleile has many interesting stories to share and also has some delicious little samples ready. And you’ll see for yourself: the chickens’ happiness is hidden in every egg. **Itinerary:** A group walk with a local guide to the current location of the “happy chickens.” Along the way, we’ll pass Bad Krozingen Castle, continue through Old Krozingen, and end at the Fridolin Chapel. Even during the walk (approx. 40 min), there’s plenty of interesting information about the town to learn. Once you arrive at the mobile chicken coops, the focus is naturally on the birds. Today, you’ll learn a lot about species-appropriate chicken farming and what makes a good egg. Afterward, you’ll get to sample some small treats yourself—made, of course, from the “happiness eggs.” Return to the spa district around 8:00 p.m.
