Biologists have long understood that overcrowding of people or animals leads to stress, an assortment of health disorders, and aggressive behavior. We all need our space, and chickens are no exception. Our chickens are free to roam.

At our growers' farms you'll find calm, non-aggressive chickens with plenty of room to move about as they choose - getting all the exercise they need to grow up strong and healthy.

Lots of space and lots of freedom. They play a big part in making Bell & Evans chicken The Excellent Chicken.
