Broiler (Meat) Chickens
Our meat birds have been placed for the year and we raise only one batch a year. There might be the opportunity to purchase some later in the year and if you're interested in ordering chickens from Chatsworth Farm for 2022, please contact us early in the year as we place our chick order in March.
We raise a certain number of broiler chickens every summer, as "pastured poultry". This summer (2021) we're raising a limited number of a new breed of meat birds, Berg Grazers. They'll be ready in the autumn after being raised on grass all spring and summer. Our poultry are raised without any antibiotics, growth hormones, or animal by-products. As of 2021, the price for a whole chicken is $5.50/lb. They average 3-6lbs and we raise both males and females so sizes vary.
The chicks arrive as day-olds in the mail and are raised in our calving barn until they are old and big enough (about a month and a half) to roam freely around our farmyard.
