Grow-out Ranches

Once hatched, the chicks are carefully transported to one of our climate-controlled grow-out ranches located in California, Oregon and Washington. Each ranch is protected by a buffer zone of empty land and access is strictly controlled. The floors of the grow-out ranches are covered with rice hulls to control waste and the environment of each house is monitored 24 hours a day. The birds mature naturally without steroids or growth hormones. Instead, they eat a diet of high quality corn-based feed. As they mature, the flock's progress is carefully monitored by both our grow-out department and our veterinarians. Each flock is tested and receives USDA certification to ensure that it meets and exceeds quality and safety standards.
