FREE RANGE POULTRY
|

Specialists in the production of barn reared and free range chickens and ducks whilst maintaining a sympathetic approach to additive free poultry production.
Merrifield farm is situated in the beautiful Devonshire countryside just outside of Crediton and about seven miles from Exeter.The family pride themselves on producing top quality chickens and ducks that give the true flavour of the product whilst maintaining a very sympathetic approach to bird welfare |

Day old chicks are initially reared in temperature controlled brooder units until 28 days old when they are moved to free range units. These are either straw bale shacks or special chicken arks. Here they are allowed to roam grassy fields yet have the protection from predators and the elements in their specialist housing. Birds are fed a low density GM free, additive and antibiotic free diet to allow slower growth, greater maturity and better flavour. Birds are reared in small flocks to reduce stress and increase freedom. A simple diet, greater maturity and a natural environment produces a happier, better tasting chicken.
