Do you know what a pasture-raised chicken is?
Pasture-raised chickens are raised in portable chicken coops with free access to pens that are changed every 3 days. By moving them in this way, we ensure that they always have access to freshly grown grass, which stimulates their consumption and provides the great benefits that pasture-raised meat gives us (see Benefits of Pasture-Raised Meat).
Is a free-range chicken a pasture-raised chicken?
The answer is NO. In order for the chickens not to damage the soil and to have constant access to fresh grass, it is essential that they are raised in constantly moving portable chicken coops. IF IT DOESN’T MOVE, IT’S NOT REGENERATIVE!!!
How can I tell a pasture-raised chicken from one that is not?
The key is to see how they are raised and what philosophy they have on each farm. Animals in nature are not always in the same place but are constantly on the move, and this effect can only be achieved if the chicken coops are portable.
