frequently asked questions about chickens

  • What is pastured poultry?
    The term "pastured poultry" refers to any type of poultry (chicken, turkey, etc...), that is raised ON (not just offered) green grass for the majority of their lives.
  • Does pastured poultry offer any nutritional benefits?
    Yes! When compared to confinement raised poultry, several studies show pasture raised poultry contains higher levels of Omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants like Vitamin E. Pasture raised birds also have a lower Omega 6:3 ratio and contain higher levels of Vitamin D.
  • Do you give your chickens antibiotics or horomones?
    Our chickens never receive vaccinations, medicated feed, antibiotics, or horomones. Since our birds are raised on green grass and sunshine, they do not develop infections or other medical problems that confinement raised poultry are prone to.
  • How do you offer your chickens green grass?
    Currently, we use multiple "Salatin-style" pens. These pens are highly mobile, allowing us to move our chickens to fresh grass on a daily basis.
