Country chickens are raised in natural environments and have a better nutritional profile:
Higher protein content due to their active lifestyle
Lower fat levels, especially compared to factory-farmed broilers
More iron and essential micronutrients, especially in organs and darker meat
Country chickens:
Forage naturally for insects, seeds, and grains
Are not fed growth hormones or synthetic boosters
Grow slowly and steadily, just as nature intended
Country chicken is known for:
Rich, earthy flavor
Firm, chewy texture (not soft or watery)
Works beautifully in slow-cooked curries, stews, and roasts
If you’re used to the bland taste of broiler, country chicken may surprise you with its depth.
Most broiler chickens are exposed to antibiotics throughout their short life to prevent diseases in crowded farms. Country chickens:
Are raised in healthier, open environments
Rarely require antibiotics
Reduce your exposure to antibiotic residues in meat
Choosing country chicken supports a cleaner food chain and safer immune health.
These chickens are typically raised by smaller-scale, ethical farmers, using practices that:
Respect animal welfare
Avoid environmental degradation caused by massive poultry operations
Reduce reliance on chemical inputs and feed additives
