Day old chicks are initially reared in temperature controlled brooder
units until 28 days old when they are moved to free range units.
These are either straw bale shacks or special chicken arks. Here they
are allowed to roam grassy fields yet have the protection from
predators and the elements in their specialist housing. Birds are fed
a low density GM free, additive and antibiotic free diet to allow
slower growth, greater maturity and better flavour. Birds are reared in small flocks to
reduce stress and increase freedom. A simple diet, greater maturity
and a natural environment produces a happier, better tasting chicken. |
