Whole Chicken – Farm Processed

Whole Chicken (Approx. 5-8 pounds) 

Hogs & Horns Homestead raises their whole chickens hormone and steroid-free in an outdoor pasture setting. Doing so, allows our chickens to live a stress-free life with plenty of room to exercise, and access to fresh air and sunshine. Our chickens are offered free choice soy-free complete feed made in Alberta. We raise, finish, and process all our chickens on Hogs & Horns Homestead. We butcher under the on-farm-slaughter program of Alberta, which means all of our chickens come un-inspected. This lowers the undue stress on our animals from transport and the processing plant.

How Our Program Works:

Through the on-farm-slaughter program of Alberta, we sell our animals as “in-live-animal” before harvest. We then grow and harvest your animal on Hogs & Horns Homestead. Please review our terms & conditions for on-farm-slaughtered meat. Order your chicken for you and your family by March 30, 2024. We will then raise them throughout the summer months. At the time of butcher, Hogs and Horns Homestead will determine your whole chicken’s actual dressed weight. We will then process and notify you when your order will be ready to pick up on the farm or by arranged meet-up in Edmonton, Spruce Grove, Leduc, Sherwood Park, Red Deer, Calgary or Lac La Biche in October. You will receive an update by October 1, 2024,  with pickup/meetup dates.

Price:

The deposit to reserve is $15/chicken. This deposit is subtracted from your total owed. The final price is calculated on the dressed weight of a whole bird, $7.00/lb. whole.

Total weight varies between each animal. Your meat will come packaged in plastic vacuum packaging and is frozen unless otherwise requested.
