Natural Farm-Raised Whole Chickens
This breed of Freedom Ranger chickens was developed for the finest French cuisine. These whole-processed, frozen Freedom Rangers average 3½ lb each and contain absolutely no additives, antibiotics, hormones, or steroids. These birds are truly natural, as they were pasture-raised and fed only grains grown on the same farm. Additionally, the butchering and processing were carried out mindfully and respectfully, only after prayers of thanks were said. The robust flavor suggests these birds lived stress-free and had just one bad day in their lives.
