OUR MEAT CHICKENS
Our broiler chickens are fed 100% organic poultry feed from Country Junction Feeds. This feed is produced right here in Alberta and is the highest quality that we can source.
We raise the chickens in our barn and fenced-in pasture and provide the most natural life that we can for them.
DAILY LIFE
0-2 Weeks: Our broiler chickens start off their lives 100% inside our barn where they get lots of love and attention for the first week of their lives. They have a fully heated area that we are able to keep nice and warm until their feathers grow in.
2-4 Weeks: Once they are two weeks old, we open the door to the outside pasture during warm days and give them the option to start exploring the great outdoors. They always have the inside heat lamps to come back to when they are cold. Their allowed time outside is extended every week as their feathers grow in, and we determine on a day-by-day basis whether it is warm enough for them to go outside.
4-8 Weeks: At 4-week old the chickens get free access to their outside run! We want them to have as much time as possible in their natural environment. The door stays open all day and night and the chickens are able to choose to be inside or outside themselves now that they have 80% of their feathers. The heat lamp is turned off as they no longer need the extra heat.
The chickens free range in their pasture during the days and we encourage them to sleep in the barn at night but the door stays open.
We harvest the chickens at 8 weeks old, which gives us 4-5lb birds once processed.
COOP/BARN
Our barn is an old garage that we have been converting to fit our needs. Using panels we have a separate area that we use for brooding the chicks and we have dog doors that allow the chickens to be able to go out to their pasture.
The barn is fully insulated and is able to provide a cooler protected area during those hot humid summer days.
