Rearing Happy Chickens

Rearing Happy Chickens at Springfield Organics

At Springfield Organics, we are committed to rearing happy chickens 52 weeks of the year. But what does a “happy chicken” look like? Here are just a few of the key factors that contribute to the well-being of our birds:

  • Living in small flocks with ample space inside their sheds

  • Unrestricted access to fresh pastures during daylight hours

  • Freedom to peck, graze, scratch, and dust bathe, as chickens naturally do

  • Living in a calm, natural environment

  • Never fed growth-promoting hormones

  • Access to fresh Devon air and natural sunlight, indoors or outdoors

  • No beak tipping—ever

  • All birds, including free-range, are reared to Organic Farmers and Growers Standards

Not only does this ensure happy chickens, but it also produces a bird that’s healthier for you—lower in fat and higher in protein, without any unnatural additives commonly found in intensively reared poultry.

Our Rearing Process

We hand rear all our Organic and Free Range Chickens and Turkeys. This personal touch from our experienced stockmen ensures every bird receives the best care. Our chickens are reared for a minimum of 10 weeks, double the time of conventional birds. During this period, they:

  • Exercise regularly on fresh pastures

  • Consume a natural diet of grains, grass, and insects

  • Are never given growth-promoting drugs or hormones

Our Hubbard Chickens are a slow-growing strain, allowing them to mature naturally, resulting in better flavor, texture, and nutrition.

Housing & Environment

Indoor living conditions are just as important as outdoor space. All our chickens and turkeys live in small flocks, similar to their natural social structures. This ensures they are never overcrowded and can move freely, reducing stress and promoting calm behavior.

  • Natural ventilation keeps sheds fresh and cool

  • Natural lighting supports healthy sleeping patterns

  • Access to fresh air, indoors and outdoors, promotes overall well-being

Why Choose Organic & Free Range

When you choose Springfield Organics, you are choosing quality over quantity. Our birds live the best possible life, producing superior meat that’s tastier, healthier, and ethically reared.
