Rocky® was the first USDA approved free range chicken. A premium roasting bird averaging 5 pounds, Rocky has access to fenced yards where the birds are free to roam in the open air and forage through the native grasses. Rocky is about 9 weeks old when marketed. Rocky's feed contains no antibiotics. In contrast, conventional growers use antibiotics to stimulate growth. Rocky tastes like what he eats, and at Petaluma Poultry the vegetarian diet consists of corn and soybean meal. Conventional feed contains animal fat and animal byproducts. ROCKY grows from day one to maturity in a stress free environment - spacious poultry houses that have natural daylight. They roam freely throughout these barns; the earth floor is covered with a layer of rice hulls, and natural bedding. ROCKY receives humane treatment at all times during their lives. The ranchers use sustainable farming methods.
