which are allowed to roam about
freely for food rather than being
caged. This helps in muscle
development of the meat. It helps prevent cannibalism and
it has been found that eggs from
pastured hens have higher
omega-3 fatty acid and vitamin
A and E. It means that the bird is not
confined to cages and sheds.
They have access to outdoors.
Which doesn't necessarily
mean that the bird has roamed
across fields and grassy lands. For all you know the poor
creature was given a small
fenced up area to roam in. Having said that, to ensure that
the birds have adequate space,
producers will have to keep
fewer birds in the same area
and therefore to maintain profits,
they are priced at a higher rate. These are considered
nutritionally superior to regular
chickens.
