The birds must be raised organically no later than two days after they hatch; They must be fed certified organic feed for their entire lives. Organic feed cannot contain animal by-products, antibiotics or genetically engineered grains and cannot be grown using persistent pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
Chickens raised in a cage-free environment and served only a natural diet grow bigger, are nutritionally richer, taste better, and, frankly, are raised more humanely. Terms like “all natural” are not regulated, so don’t rely on labels like this to make your selection
Free-range and organic chickens are more expensive because they cost more to produce. Feed accounts for about 70% of the cost to rear a chicken and these birds are eating for double the amount of time.
Organic chicken tastes less artificial and more natural. They can make any dish more flavourful and tastier. Organic chickens are free of any kind of pesticides, antibiotics, and other drugs. That is why they are considered to be safe for consumption and will not have a negative impact on human health.
