Colored Free Range Boiler chicks for sale weekly year round hatched on Wednesdays. MINIMUM of this breed. These CANNOT ship with any other type of chickens as these come from a different breeder. IF YOU ORDER this breed, place it on a separate order from all other chickens. Breeding stock is imported from the regions of Burgundy and Brittany (France). The genetic stock is derived from the American and European old heritage breed of chicken and was developed in the early 1960Ęs to meet the highest standards of the French Label Rouge Free Range program. Currently, the Colored Free Range Broiler genetic stock is used by most non-factory farm production models (alternative) all across Europe and also by small pastured poultry producers in search of a traditionally raised farm chicken - just like the "oldies", healthy and with a succulent flavor and texture.
Since our Color Free Range Broilers are a slower growing breed, they are naturally better suited to the higher welfare and all true natural rearing systems (full pasturing, free range, organic, certified, backyard etc.ą). In the United States most modern poultry industrial production models use fast growing breeds (hybrid white synthetic Cornish crosses).
Natural instinct and behavior is preserved in the selection and growing methods of our Color Free Range Broiler breeding stock. It goes without saying that our birds love foraging in pastures, free ranging outside, always looking for natural sunlight and fresh air, as well as ground scratching and dust bathing.
Purely Poultry strongly believes in traditional, sustainable, and environmentally friendly farming methods, and we are convinced that allowing the chickens to do what comes naturally ensures an incredible meal for your table!
Our current assortment of Colored Free Range Broilers day-old chicks is made of: Tricolor, Redbro, and Yellow
Performance goals under true natural rearing systems:
Based on the results and experiences of our own flocks and our customersĘ flocks, the Colored Free Range Broilers assortment will reach 5 to 6 LBS Live Weight in a minimum of 9 weeks and a maximum of 11 weeks. In no way does this data constitute a warranty or guarantee of the same performance as conditions of nutrition, management, health, density or physical and biological environments (weather and relief) vary from producers to producers.
NOTE: When you order Colored Free Range Broiler chicks, you will receive a random assortment of all in stock varieties mentioned above. We cannot separate by line at hatching, so please do not request specific counts of a particular line of chicks.
