Elgin Valley Free Range

Elgin Valley Free Range chickens are reared on farms certified by RSPCA Approved. These farms conform to over 400 requirements as outlined in the detailed RSPCA Standard for Meat Chickens; each one focused on providing a better quality of life for the birds. To ensure ongoing conformance, the farms are assessed two to four times per year by specially trained RSPCA Assessors, and, as a humane death is also important abattoirs are assessed annually. 

These farms provide the birds with access to an outdoor range, shade to protect them from the elements, and space to explore during the day. At night the meat chickens have shelter and protection inside a large, enriched barn, with more space to move, perch, dustbathe and forage than legally required. Even though it’s not the easiest way, it’s important in raising meat chickens to a higher-welfare standard. 

Elgin Valley Free Range chicken is available at independent supermarkets, BBQ shops and butchers.
