Reasons why you should buy Free Range Poultry from Feighcullen Farm

The term ‘free range’ is only legally defined for two foods – eggs and poultry meat. Therefore, only these two types of food can be called ‘free range’ and only where they meet the requirements set out for use of this term in the relevant legislation.  We're delighted to advise that Feighcullen Farm is a quality producer of 'free range' poultry.

The life of a chicken, duck, goose or turkey....

...begins when we receive the day-old chicks to our farm.  All the chicks are kept in a climate-controlled (warm, heated) environment for 10 days at minimum to ensure that they are well-looked after in their early days.  At Feighcullen Farm, the chicks are housed in outbuildings just next to our family home so that we can keep a very close eye on all of them.

What all of our poultry eat...

...fed on a natural, cereal-based diet including our own home grown wheat and oats.  All cereal-based rations are GM free.  Our poultry are not given drugs and we do not use growth promoting additives.  

After a couple of weeks or so...

...when our chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys have grown, they are then able to roam freely in our fields each day & are housed in spacious barns on straw bedding with natural light and ventilation each night;

From farm to fork...

All of our poultry is allowed to mature slowly.  When each bird is ready, the process takes place of getting them delivered to our selected butchers or direct to you from our farm.  Each bird will have lived out their lives happily roaming through Feighcullen Farm.  Be sure to view our photo gallery to see life on the farm for each of our birds!
