#158 Click to enlarge Poulet Rouge Pastured French Heritage chickens Poulet Rouge Pastured French Heritage chickens
Order number of chickens. You will be billed for exact PROCESSED weight (approx. 2.5 - 3.5 pounds) Pastured/free range Animal Welfare Certified. We raise these from egg to maturity thus they are 100% sustainable. The Des Moines Register article describes these chickens as the quintessential chef's chicken. This breed has less feathers than any other chicken leaving the skin thin and translucent due to less feather follicles. They are grown longer than any other standard breed of broiler to ensure the most chicken flavor without being tough. This is the same type of chicken grown by Niman ranch. They have a firmer texture than Freedom Rangers, longer leg bones, thinner crispier skin, less fat, and slightly less breast meat. The flavor is amazing. These chickens are raised from direct French parent stock that we have purchased and kept within the strict "Poulet Rouge" tradition on pasture in small flocks.Our chickens are served in many Des Moines restaurants as well as several others throughout the state. Vacuum packaging. State Inspected for wholesomeness.
