Sommerlad Chicken (CSA Box)

Sommerlad chickens are a species bred by Michael Sommerlad with genetics from Aussie game, Light Sussex and Plymouth Rock to produce a fabulous table bird, specifically bred for Aussie conditions. The meat quality is outstanding - flavoursome and textural dark meat with delicious yellow fat that keeps from drying out. We find that the cooking quality is more forgiving than commercial chicken breeds and the bones are strong, which allows the chickens to move freely around the paddocks as they grow.

Our Sommerlad chickens spend their days pecking and scratching the paddocks and roaming our pastures. We move them every few days, and they leave behind lovely fertilised and soft soil, littered with feathers and straw, which add delicious organic material to the soil.

Includes 1 x Whole Sommerlad Chicken (regular chook size is approx. 2kgs)
