Poultry
Whole Broiler Chicken
|
$10 Deposit |
Price Per Pound: $5.99 at the farm, $6.99 in Concord & Mountain View.
Approximate Weight: 2.5 to 3.5 pounds per whole chicken.
Approximate Total Cost: $15 to $20 at the farm, $16 – $24 in Concord & Mountain View.
Feed and Living Conditions: 100% of our chickens’ time is spent on pasture. We do not confine them at all, except for the first 10 to 15 days of their lives where they are kept warm in the brooder, which by the way, is also out on pasture.
In addition to the grass and bugs that they find on pasture, we give them certified organic, non-GMO, corn-free, soy-free feed that is raised and milled locally.
Description: These are a heritage breed that is slower growing than the fast-growing, double-breasted Cornish Cross chicken that most people are used to. Unlike the fast growing birds, these birds enjoy a pain-free, healthy existence and are able to walk, run, fly and express their “chickenness” while they are on our pastures.
Size, Taste, & Nutrition: As a result of not being confined near their feed trough, and therefore eating a larger percentage of their diet from the pasture, as well as the fact they’re getting more exercise than confined birds, our chickens may be smaller and their meat more developed and flavorful than you are used to. In fact, they are the size my grandmother used to raise for her dinner table and they taste more like a wild bird than other chickens you may have tried. Their slower growth rate and greater age at processing result in a higher nutritional value.
Stewing Chicken
|
$10 Deposit |
Price Per Pound: $4.99 at the farm, $5.99 in Concord & Mountain View.
Approximate Weight: 2 to 3 pounds per whole chicken.
Approximate Total Cost: $10 to $15 at the farm, $12 – $18 in Concord & Mountain View.
Feed and Living Conditions: 100% of our chickens’ time is spent on pasture. We do not confine them at all, except for the first 10 to 15 days of their lives where they are kept warm in the brooder, which by the way, is also out on pasture.
In addition to the grass and bugs that they find on pasture, we give them certified organic, non-GMO, corn-free, soy-free feed that is raised and milled locally.
Description: These are two-year-old layers that we’ve culled from our flock. These older birds are more nutritious than the young broiler chickens, but they require slow cooking with moist heat.
Size, Taste, & Nutrition: As a result of not being confined near their feed trough, and therefore eating a larger percentage of their diet from the pasture, as well as the fact they’re getting more exercise than confined birds, our chickens may be smaller and their meat more developed and flavorful than you are used to.

Feed and Living Conditions: 100% of our turkeys’ time is spent on pasture. We do not confine them at all, except for the first 20 to 30 days of their lives where they are kept warm in the brooder house, also on pasture.

Pasture-based Genetics
Our Turkeys are bred and selected for performance in a pasture setting free of antibiotics.
Characteristics of the Full of Life Farm flock
- ■ Average live weight of young tom (< 1 yr old): 22 lbs (APA Standard: 23 lbs)
- ■ Average live weight of young hen (< 1 yr old): 13 lbs (APA Standard: 14 lbs)
- ■ Egg Fertility Rate: 90% (APA Standard: at least 80%)
- ■ Hatch Rate: 90% (APA Standard: 75-80%)
- ■ Mortality rate: 2.5%
- ■ Feed conversion ratio: TBD (we will attempt to determine this during the 2012 growing season)
The Economics of Purchasing Full of Life Farm Poults
When purchasing poults from any hatchery for purposes of raising and selling finished turkeys, pay attention to the characteristics listed above. The purchase price should reflect the quality exhibited in these characteristics of the parent flock.
We have found other flocks of Heritage Bourbon Red turkeys whose full grown weights were as low as 66% of ours, whose fertility rates were 50% of ours, and whose mortality rates were more than 10 times higher! These kind of numbers affect the profitability of your enterprise much more than the initial purchase price of your new turkey poults.
