Pasture Raised Heritage Chickens

At Eggsotics, we hatch heritage chickens just a few times a year to add new egg layers to our flock. This gives us a limited number of young heritage roosters to grow out for meat. Unlike modern, commercially bred broiler chickens, heritage breeds grow slowly, typically taking at least 16-20 weeks to reach market weight. This slower, more active lifestyle results in firmer meat with a more complex, deeper flavor. Our heritage chickens roam free on a 13 acre lot with plenty of forage in addition to a well balanced custom grain based feed to complete their nutrion requirements. Heritage chickens is what chicken used to taske like! It is great for any slow cooking method such as crock pot or presure cooker, or slow roasting in a dutch over.
