Griggstown Chicken
Farm fresh chicken raised without antibiotics or hormones.
$14.50 — $16.75
Chickens are the most widely domesticated fowl with a population of over 24 billion in 2003. Nearly all fertilized chicken eggs will hatch after 21 days with good conditions. For proper incubation and survival in captivity the birds are hatched in 95 degrees F incubators and are kept at that constant temperature, then dropped at 1 degree increments per day. Commercially they are raised only having three-quarters of a foot per bird, growing to a live weight of 5 to 7 lbs. Here at the Griggstown Farm Market, our chickens are all-natural & free-range, at a dress weight of 3 ½ to 4 lbs. Fed a soy grain based diet with vitamins and minerals, absolutely no hormones or growth stimulants are given to the birds. Processed here 2-3 times weekly, these fresh chickens are sold at our retail store or maybe shipped to you! They are available whole, or boned-out (pieces cut off of the whole chicken, 1 package contains, 2 breasts, 2 thighs, 2 legs, 2 wings).
