Barn Reared Chickens
Our Cobb chickens have been reared on-farm, bedded down daily on fresh home-produced barley straw. The chickens feed ad lib on home produced wheat (grown to Farm Assured standards) and a specially prepared corn ration.
Whilst not free-range, barn reared poultry provides high standards of animal welfare.
They will have reached maturity as a traditional table bird, having lived much longer than a supermarket broiler chicken.
We reared a few chickens for the first time last Christmas and they were a great success, full of flavour and succulent –you remember, 'how chicken used to taste’?
We expect oven ready weights to be between 7-12lbs (3.2-5.5kg).
