Broiler Chickens Added to the Farm

We have had people asking us about whether we would be providing any meats, since we offer the farm eggs. Up until now we have had to say no, but we will be offering our farm raised chicken starting in January. If we see the demand and we sell out of the 25 hens we now have, we will consider starting a two week rotation for the area.

The chicks are in the brooder now, at a week old, I predict they will be pretty good sized at the 6 week processing time. About 3-4 pounds each. They, like our laying hens, are on a diet of Purina Certified Natural grains, that have no meat-by-products, antibiotics or hormones, as well as all the other goodies we give them like lettuces and grapes; you will taste the difference in the meat. They will live their time with us with plenty of space and fresh air.

The hens will be processed at approximately 6 weeks of age at the USDA plant in Bowling Green. Customers will buy the whole chicken, but can choose to receive it one of three ways: Whole, for roasting; Broiler, in two halves for baking or grilling or Fryer cut, which is 2 breasts, 2 thighs, two drumsticks and two wings. Price per pound is $4.00. Those interested in reserving a bird(s) can email me at: tricia@napoleonridgefarm.com or call the farm phone at 859-643-FARM.
