Herb Fed Free Range Chicken

Herb Fed Chicken was founded by Edward Wilkinson who wanted to produce ‘a bird with taste’ and he really has achieved this with the highest possible husbandry and welfare standards.
The birds are fed on a cereal-based feed, free from additives and growth promoters which comes from the local mill. Their unique diet also includes over 10 varieties of fresh herbs from his Aunts local herb farm. The only one they do not like is Sage!
They are traditionally farmed, hand-fed, bedded up daily with fresh straw and live in small flocks so they truly are free to forage for food and make use of their natural instincts; being able to peck at the grass, find and eat insects, dust bathe and soak up the sunshine ….. or the rain!
They really are happy birds and pecking through the herbs keeps them occupied and gives them a truly special taste which remains wonderfully moist when cooked.

Herb Fed States “We are committed to providing our poultry with a carefully balanced diet to support their health and welfare while also minimising the environmental impact.
70% of the feed is composed of cereals and their derivatives which can be wheat, barley, oats or maize – depending on time of year and availability.
Herbs make up 10% of the overall weight of feed.
The balance of the bird’s intake is gained from foraging while ranging”
