Our pastured Red Rangers are such a hardy breed! When left to fully mature, the roosters are a fine and fiery red/orange color with green/black tail feathers and the hens are a rusty orange color. 🐓
These birds are 18 weeks old and have reached maturity. Usually, we process birds at 10-14 weeks, but a couple times a year we like to let them grow on pasture for a month or so longer. When allowed to reach maturity, the hens put on loads of extra rich, yellow fat and the roosters can reach 8 lbs and still be a healthy, happy bird. Our favorite chickens? These big ones right here. 🍽️
