Chicken that is truly raised on pasture.

Our chickens never receive hormones, animal bi-products or antibiotics and are fed a 22% protein ration from a local feed mill, Bratcher AG, along with bugs, grasses and clovers they get from foraging. You can be assured our chickens are raised in the most humane manner possible and live the life of a chicken, on pasture!

Why are our chickens tastier, healthier and more nutritious. It is rather simple, they live outside where they receive…sunshine, fresh air, space, movement, bugs, seeds, grass, worms. Chickens being raised like a chicken.

A quick video is located at the bottom of this page summarizing our process to humanely raise healthy chickens.

Our chickens spend the first three weeks in a brooder until they can survive without a supplemental heat source. These chicks receive no medications, vaccinations or supplements.

As soon as the chickens are old enough to survive without supplemental heat they are turned out onto pasture where they will live for the rest of their life. They are protected from predators by our livestock guardian dog, Sam!

The chickens follow behind our flock of hair sheep and are moved to a new paddock and fresh grass every day. Specially designed poultry netting protects the chickens from predators.

At approximately eight weeks of age the chickens are ready for the processor. We are proud to use Hamilton Valley Poultry Processing, a family owned and operated, Kentucky state inspected processor in Crab Orchard, KY.
