Pastured Chicken

These meat chickens are started in a brooder house for the first few weeks after hatching. Once they develop adult feathers they are moved onto pasture where they have shelter, fresh air, sunshine and a new “salad bar” every day. The once-per-day move helps the birds to ingest as much grass as possible and gets them away from yesterday’s manure. We process the chickens under a South Carolina poultry processing exemption for small farmers.
