Freedom Ranger Chickens

DESCRIPTIONPerfect for free range environments, these tri-colored or red feathered chickens grow to 5-6 lbs in just 9-11 weeks. Baby chicks for sale each week.
Our Freedom Ranger brand of broiler chicks are a great alternative to fast-growing white broiler chicks or slow-growing heritage breeds. Freedom Ranger chicks grow at a moderate rate, reaching their peak weight of 5-6 lbs in 9 to 11 weeks. These active, robust chicks are suitable for free range, foraging and pasture environments and produce tender, succulent meat with more yellow omega 3 fat and less saturated fat than fast growing breeds.
Our Freedom Ranger chickens feature either red or tri-colored feathers and have yellow shanks, skin and beaks. They are an active breed and thrive when allowed to free range, scratch and dust bathe in natural sunlight.
On most weeks, we sell broiler chicks to growers raising for the ethnic
food markets in NYC. They prepare what they call a Confucius Dish,
which requires it to be a female. We sell them a higher percentage of
females than males for this reason. This gives us a certain amount of
male
broilers that we can sell at the same price as straight run. Most
growers prefer the males since they grow faster and get larger than the
females.
Freedom Ranger chicks are hatched on our family farm in Lancaster County, PA and shipped directly to you. We maintain our own incubators on site. We do not use third-party drop shippers. Freedom Ranger birds were derived from an American and European heritage breed that was developed in the early 1960s to meet the high standards of the French Label Rouge Free Range program.
