Chukar Partridge

European Black Feathered Chicken - 4 lb. avg. Rich, intense flavor raised with time-honored tradition. Sold Buddhist Style, Head/FeetOn Comes Frozen. Please note: Frozen items may thaw in transit. Black/ Red Feather Chickens are a slow-growing breed that caters to traditional European and Asian tastes. The farms raise this breed in order to fulfill the new immigrants' demand for a chicken that reminds them of the old country. The breast is shallow, but the legs and thighs are meaty. Preferred by dark meat lovers. The chickens are free-roaming, slow grown, and raised without antibiotics or hormones. Our chickens are grown in our sister farm in New York State. We raise them in an in-closed arena because of diseases that birds outside the buildings may carry can be passed to our chicken.  We keep our chickens indoors to keep them healthy and disease-free. We feed them a healthy diet of only corn and soy beans.  The corn is grown on our own sister farm, and we have a close relationship with our feed company, (Cochecton Mills).
