Cornish Cross broilers, out foraging for food
in November. Clean, healthy, ready for butcher

Cornish Cross broilers, free range raised.
Free range chickens, what's it all about?  Here at North Creek Farms #3, we raise the most natural
frying chicken possible.   I start with a chick who is hatched from our own chickens (yes, we can do that).  For the first 2 weeks the chicks are raised inside of the chicken house, they are to small to leave the brooder heat lamp.  The first 2 weeks of life they are fed only non medicated feed, being raised in a clean environment we have no need to feed any medications.   Starting at 2-3 weeks they are taught to go outdoors during the day and look for insects, seeds and grass (did you know broilers love fresh grass and grasshoppers are considered a delicacy).   At night they are taught to come into the brooder house for safety reasons.  We continue to free range our chickens until they 8 weeks of age.   At 8 weeks old, they are freezer ready and full of flavor.   Did you know that supermarket chickens have white skin and farm fresh free range chickens have a nice yellow skin (that yellow skin is flavor).  What a treat to have a couple of these young tender chickens roasting in the oven, this has to be the best meal ever!!

                 
 
Cornish cross broiler, healthy food raised the way nature intended.  (All Natural)

   I do have Cornish cross hatching eggs for sale.  I have worked with bloodlines, to find a chicken who will grow fast and put a great product on the family table but this chicken has other requirements also.   My broilers must be smart enough to travel chasing grasshoppers, crickets
and other insects.   They must know they are to find their own food during the day and return to the chicken house on their own when they are thirsty.   I have seen broilers who were not smart enough to walk 10 feet on a 90 degree day for a drink of water.  My chickens will travel 150 from their house foraging for food and return for water and the safety of their house at night.   When the chickens start coming in at night, this is when I feed them, this utilizes the feed over night putting pounds on the birds. 



Grasshopper, he is mine!!!
