Michigan Broiler Production
Michigan chickens, or broilers, are a lean and healthy source of protein grown by family farms primarily located in southern Michigan. Our family owned and operated chicken farmers care for their birds by raising them in a stress-free environment where they have access to fresh water and feed, natural light and ventilation, and are free to roam within the chicken house on open floors.
