Pastured poultry
Pastured poultry, also known as pasture-raised poultry or pasture-raised eggs, is a sustainable agriculture technique that calls for the raising of laying chickens, meat chickens (broilers), guinea fowl, and/or turkeys on pasture, as opposed to indoor confinement like in battery cage hens, or in some cage-free and free range setups with limited outdoor access. Humane treatment and the perceived health benefits of pastured poultry are causing an increase in demand for such products.
