1. Healthier Nutritional Profile
“Better than Broiler” chickens are typically raised more naturally, with:
- No antibiotics or growth hormones
- Cleaner feed, often non-GMO or organic
- More time to grow, leading to:
- Higher protein density
- Better omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid balance
- Lower fat content, especially unhealthy saturated fats
This means the meat you’re eating is less processed, more nutrient-dense, and safer in the long term.
2. No Crowded Factory Farming
Standard broilers are raised in intensive, cramped conditions that prioritize speed over health. In contrast:
- “Better than Broiler” chickens are usually pasture-raised or free-range
- They enjoy lower stress, which improves meat texture and reduces harmful stress-related hormones in the meat
3. Tastes Better—Naturally
Because these chickens grow more slowly and naturally:
No artificial brining or injections are needed to make the meat palatable
Their meat develops richer flavor
Texture is firmer, not mushy or watery like conventional broilers
4. Lower Risk of Contamination
Factory-farmed broilers are often linked with:
- Salmonella, campylobacter, or E. coli outbreaks
- Overuse of antibiotics → antibiotic-resistant bacteria
“Better than Broiler” chickens are processed more carefully and less likely to carry drug-resistant pathogens.
5. Supports Ethical Farming & Sustainability4. Lower Risk of Contamination
These chickens are typically raised by smaller-scale, ethical farmers, using practices that:
Reduce reliance on chemical inputs and feed additives
Respect animal welfare
Avoid environmental degradation caused by massive poultry operations
