Freedom Ranger Chickens

Freedom Ranger Chickens: Ideal Meat Birds

Our Freedom Ranger broiler chickens are great alternatives to fast-growing white broiler chicks and slow-growing heritage breeds. These active, robust chickens are suitable for free-ranging, foraging, and pasturing. They like to spend the day scratching and dust-bathing in the sunlight. Freedom Ranger chickens produce tender, succulent meat with high levels of omega-3 fats and low levels of saturated fat.

Some customers prefer female broilers. That means the remaining male broiler chicks are sold at the same price as a straight run when available. This fact is significant because males are a better value, since they grow faster and larger than hens.

The Lineage of Freedom Ranger Chickens

Freedom Ranger chickens were derived from an American and European heritage breed that had been developed in the early 1960s to meet the high standards of the French Label Free-Range program.

Qualities of our Freedom Ranger Chickens

These broiler chickens are perfect for free-range environments. They grow at a moderate rate (5-6 pounds in 9-11 weeks), resulting in succulent meat with more yellow omega-3 fat and less saturated fat than faster-growing breeds. These broiler chicks will grow to have either red or tri-colored feathers, with yellow shanks, skin, and beaks.
