This bird was awful. There was green in the center ( deep pectoral myopathy or green muscle disease) of the chicken, when we looked up the cause of green meat it said that it's from chickens who do not have room to move or have been so far inbreed. We paid extra money for free range and got this awful chicken. Not only that, When I purchased I thought I was ordering Cooks Venture, a company I had thoroughly researched, but something changed from when it was added to the cart to when it shipped.

I was disappointed with this chicken. The color of the chicken was very pale and almost translucent as opposed to having that yellowish tone. The skin itself was thin. I was cooking using a cats iron pan in the oven, and when I flipped the bird over to ensure that the bottom was cooked through, the skin on the bottom tore off and stuck to to the pan. The meat was so lean it was chewy.

Pioneers in Regenerative Agriculture

What began with 50 chicks in Farmer Paul's backyard has evolved into a revolutionary venture. They are leaders in pasture-raised poultry and regenerative agriculture, shaping the future of farming. Their chickens thrive in state-of-the-art, solar-powered mobile coops. By rotating them with cattle to fresh grass daily, they are scaling regenerative agriculture to new heights. This groundbreaking approach improves animal welfare and restores the balance in our ecosystem.

Meet Farmer Paul

Farmer Paul, a Seattle native and former All American Track and Field athlete who joined the Marine Corps as an Intelligence Officer. Battling achy joints throughout his athletic career and military service, he discovered the benefits of Paleo after becoming a Certified Public Accountant. Two weeks into the diet, he felt rejuvenated—breathing freely, free from joint pain, bursting with energy, and enjoying restful sleep. Farmer Paul and his wife convinced their whole family to embrace the Paleo lifestyle, witnessing remarkable transformations in weight loss, overall health, and happiness. Despite the additional cost of seeking out quality, clean foods with labels like "grass fed," "free range," "organic," and "antibiotic free," they never looked back.

FAQ

What breed of chicken does Pasturebird raise?

How are Pasturebird’s chickens pasture-raised?

Pasturebird chickens are truly raised on pasture, not just given access. They use floorless, mobile coops rotated daily so the birds spend 24/7 on pasture where they can hunt, forage, peck and scratch for grasses, seeds, bugs, worms, flowers, weeds, and grains. By rotating the chickens to fresh pasture every single day, Pasturebird chicken is not only healthy and delicious but also goes beyond sustainability to rebuild healthy, regenerative soils and grasslands.

What does “Always Outside” mean?

This means that Pasturebird chickens don’t just have ambiguous “access to the outdoors”, but actually live outside on pasture 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Pasturebird uses an innovative, mobile range coop — a floorless structure on wheels that ensures birds have fresh pasture to forage daily and keeps them protected from outside predators and the elements.

What do Pasturebird chickens eat?

What are some of the grasses on the pasture?

What is in the chicken supplemental feed?

Can those who follow the Paleo diet eat Pasturebird chicken?

Yes! In fact, Farmer Paul follows the Paleo diet himself. Early on, Pasturebird actually tried pretty extensively to remove all grains from the chickens diet, but they learned that grains are biologically appropriate food for poultry species. In the same way that people can’t eat grass, but can eat grass-fed beef, Paleo dieters can also eat chicken that had grains (ones that may give your body trouble). This is all due to the special and unique organ within the chicken called a gizzard. This organ intercepts grains, sprouts and stone grinds them prior to digestion.

Do Pasturebird chickens receive antibiotics?

How do Pasturebird chickens stay protected on pasture?

Does Pasturebird chicken look and cook differently than your grocery store chicken?

Because birds were raised on fresh pasture, you may notice a slightly more reddish hue to the meat. Pasture-raised chicken tends to cook faster, so we highly recommend using a meat thermometer as you get acquainted with preparing it. One of Pasturebird’s favorite preparations for their chicken is a simple saltwater brine – just cover the chicken (frozen is fine) with good water, add a half cup of good salt, and cook in your preferred method. This brine really helps to bring out the flavor and keep the bird moist.

Is Pasturebird chicken glycosphate free?
