Our Product
Our roasting chickens are larger than most of the whole chickens you find in stores. That's why we like to call them 'family chickens'. One chicken will be enough to feed your entire family, and still leave you some left overs for sandwiches or chicken salad. They can be cut up into pieces, or roasted whole and are perfect for a family meal, a BBQ, or a gathering with friends.
When you buy your chicken from Riddell's Roasters, not only will you be getting great value (less than $2/serving), but also the assurance of dealing directly with the people who grow, process and sell your food.
We look forward to meeting you at the farm and introducing you to a local, healthy and sustainable food product.

How We Raise Our Chickens
Free Run
No cages, environmentally controlled and secure barn with ample roaming space. Safe from predators and disease transfer.
Naturally Fed
No hormones, steroids or animal bi-products. All grain and vegetable diet using our own wheat mixed with a soybean supplement containing essential vitamins and minerals.
Humanely Raised and Processed
We start our chickens as day old chicks. They are brought into our cleansed and sanitized barn and placed on a bedding of fresh wheat straw under brooder heaters that keep them warm and dry.
They have immediate and continuous access to feed and fresh clean water. As they grow, more barn space is opened up to allow them space to roam free. Temperature and lighting is continuously monitored and adjusted to keep them comfortable and healthy.
Our chickens are raised to 8-12 weeks of age depending on the size desired, at which time they are processed on the farm in our clean and modern processing plant. You pick them up fresh, the same day they are processed and will see the processing facility first hand.
Low Stress Environment
Our family members are the only people to interact with the flock until the day of processing. We personally enter the barn several times each day to check on the health and well-being of the flock, maintaining air temperature and quality, feed and water availability and general welfare.
Because our chickens are processed right on the farm, there is no need for excess handling or transportation. This greatly minimizes the stress put on animals prior to processing.
