⚠️Honest Disclosure on Soy-Free
We want to be upfront that the mineral that the feed mill uses has a tiny bit of soy in it. It comes out to around five thousands of a percent (0.005%) in the feed mix vs a standard ration that has around 25-30% soy in it). We decided to go ahead with this feed since it is such a miniscule amount and we weren't finding other viable options.
Since then we have been able to find another source that is 100.000% pure but it is also significantly more expensive... We are very interested in your feedback on which feed you would prefer us to use in the future!
It takes a lot to raise clean, pasture raised chicken!
âś… Vaccine Free
First we have to make sure the chicks that we get are vaccine free... It's actually standard practice at some hatcheries to vaccinate the chicks while they are still in the eggs either through a spray-on vaccine that is absorbed through the shell, or with a very fine needle that is inserted through the shell into the chick! Thankfully, we are able to decline the vaccine!
âś…Soy Free, Chemical Free, and GMO Free feed
Finding feed that is GMO-free, chemical-free, AND soy-free get's to be a bit tricky! After multiple phone calls and lots of searching, I was able to find a feed mill that was able to supply us with this kind of feed!
âś…Truly Pastured
This is where the sweat and hard work comes in! "The chicken ladies" (my sisters and their friend) do a great job of moving the chickens to fresh pasture - EVERY SINGLE DAY! This moving is VERY important as it allows the chickens to enjoy a smorgasbord of clover, grass, seeds, bugs and insects - all while breathing clean fresh air and soaking in the sunshine!
Because of these daily moves to fresh pasture, the meat is 3-4 times higher in Omega-3s and CLAs compared to industrial grocery store chicken!
Our hope is that through buying our, Soy Free Truly Pastured Chicken, your family can experience the benefits of eating clean & nutrient dense poultry - raised on pasture in a way that honors the way God created it!
