This Saturday we will be processing our Red Ranger meat chickens. Its an all day affair to say the least. This also means that we will have chicken meat for sale.
We will be charging $4.00 per pound and we are expect that the chickens will weigh between 3 and 5 pounds. They are absolutely delicious. We will freeze them on Monday, after they have had a chance to rest so if you want a fresh, never frozen bird you will have to come by this weekend.
We also have frozen chickens for sale as well. They are also $4.00 a pound. The frozen chickens are a different breed than Red Rangers and a very tasty as well.
This will be our last offering of chicken until the late fall or early winter. It is just too hot in Arizona to do year round chickens.
A little about Red Rangers
Red Rangers or RRs are a slow growing, brown feathered broiler chicken. They were first developed in France as part of the Label Rouge Quality Program. RRs are strong and robust. They are market size around 12 weeks or later. This allows extra time to gain quality muscle from exercise leading to a superior flavor. They are excellent foragers adding to their flavor.
