How We Raise Our Pastured Poultry and Eggs
All of our poultry (meat chickens, laying hens, ducks, and turkeys) are raised on pasture using the following:
- Rotational grazing in chicken tractors (young birds 10 weeks and under)
- The ability to free range our entire 10 acres as they please (laying hens, ducks, turkeys)
- The ability to free range in a large paddock behind electric poultry netting
- No antibiotics or hormones added to the feed ever (life-saving antibiotics on a case-by-case basis for our layer flock and breeding flock -- which we have never had to use)
- No vaccines in any birds for meat production
- Vaccines for Marek's and Coccidiosis only in our laying hen flock - spent layer hens for sale for stew meat will have this disclosed in the item description
- Soy-free, corn-free, and non-GMO feed is fed for the life of all meat birds and layers from our local mill (main ingredients are peanut and milo)
- Emergency feed is only used when our mill has had a shortage of the non-GMO feed (which has happened once) and is conventional corn and soy feed, but has only ever been fed to our layer flock for a short period of 2 weeks until the supply was available again
- All birds are processed at a USDA inspected facility locally -- any others fall under the 1000 bird exemption for on the farm processing (such as ducks and quail as none of the local USDA processors are certified to do either of those species)
