The Farming of Organic Chicken
Organic poultry farming is the raising of chickens in a natural environment without using pesticides, hormones, or other chemicals for the purpose of meat or eggs. There is access to fresh air, sunshine and outdoor space for these chickens. The chicken is allowed to feed mainly on the organic feed that is adapted to this slow-growing breed. Every effort is made to allow the chickens to have a free-range environment.
