After the scares of chickens injected to increase their weight wouldn’t you like to know how the chickens you eat were reared?
Here in East Cork, Robbie Fitzsimmons is a 6th generation chicken producer. Not only chickens, the range of East Ferry Free Range also includes ducks, geese and turkeys.
The poultry is not fed any antibiotics and its feed is anti-biotic free. A chicken in a battery operated chicken run is slaughtered at 42 days whilst at East Ferry Free Range chickens live to 100 days before being slaughtered.
Organic feed is expensive hence the price of rearing these chicken is more costly than the mass produced chickens we see in our supermarkets. East Ferry Free Range delivers to clients and can be contacted on Tel: 00353 21 465 1916
