Our pasture raised chickens are raised outdoors on grass. They are protected from predators with a wire fence enclosure surrounding them, and a removable tarp for a roof to protect them from the heat of the sun and protection from storms.. They are moved daily to a new area of fresh green grasses and clovers. They can scratch the dirt along with eating seeds and bugs. Supplemented with non-GMO grains with no antibiotics or growth hormones and fresh water daily. It takes about 7-8 weeks to fully raise the birds. State inspected.
