New York State Heritage Chicken - 3.75 - 4 lb. avg. Rich, intense flavor raised with time-honored tradition. Sold Buddhist Style, Head/Feet On Comes Frozen. Please note: Frozen items may thaw in transit. Black/ Red / Yellow 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).

As one of our relatives, Anita Lee, in NYC with BoBo Poultry Market has said:  “Buddhist Style” chickens mean the birds are processed in accordance with Buddhist religious beliefs, requiring that the head and feet remain on eviscerated poultry.  Not only are the birds thus suitable for prayer, but “we can use everything,” Anita explained.  “We use the neck and the feet for stock.  I’ve seen how “extraneous” parts are wasted, even in cooking schools here!”  Anita, she said.  “You have to be able to look at the chickens’ eyes, to see that they are fresh and healthy.  How can you know a bird is fresh if you are only looking at parts?!” The chickens are free-roaming, slow grown, and raised without antibiotics or hormones.
