In the broiler coop, these guys are finished on grain, after spending most of their lives pecking for grains and grass in the Polyface pastures. These chickens are very active, pecking food and fighting to be Top Bird on the various perches around. These are chickens being chickens doing chicken things! Obviously, I was inside to take this photo and there was hardly any smell at all. A perfect picture of health for the chickens as well as the humans who will consumer them.

People will pay much more to buy freshly, humanely killed chickens from you at a local Farmer’s Market than you will get paid from a big, greedy processing company.
Raise your chickens without hormones, on good feed (don’t feed them other chickens’ body parts, for one) and always have sick or injured animals to go to a vet office to keep them all healthy. When one chicken gets sick, often all the others will catch it like wildfire.
So that’s just my advice – treat the animals well and then sell at a small booth or even sell over the internet and ship the meat out. People will be willing to pay much more for better treatment and health of animals.
