What Makes A Chicken
Free Range?
The Answer To This Burning Question And More
Even though the name may sound nice, a "grain fed chicken" is not a happy chicken. Think sweat shops for chickens. You get the picture. The only happy chicken is a free range chicken.
By definition, a free range chicken is a chicken who lives in a place where there is too much grass for it to eat. Small living quarters with uneatable grass do not count.
Free-range chickens will always be happy as long as they live with other chickens, thus being given the chance to socalize.
Free range chickens also need a place to lie down in the shade, otherwise they are sun-stroke chickens.
Chickens with all dirt and no grass in their coops are dust-bowl chickens and therefore not free range chickens.
Chickens that cluck-cluck-cluck for more than 10 minutes nonstop are trying to tell you something. So go and communicate with them!!
Extremely fuzzy chickens are almost always free range.
(By the way, The Chicken Coop is a certified free range pen.)
