The Farm - Poultry

beef | pigs | sheep | poultry

Our chickens are sources as day old chicks and reared under heat for the first few weeks until they are big enough to withstand the colder air. They are housed in specially constructed, insulated houses which allow them free access to an outside paddock. We choose a more traditional, slow growing breed which will take at least 12 weeks to mature rather than the more commercial 6 weeks. This allows their legs and bones to develop properly and enables us to offer a bigger chicken to our customers.

Turkeys at Christmas
Newlyns also produce oven–ready turkeys for Christmas. Unlike the majority of birds, these traditional, slower growing turkeys are barn reared. Arriving on the farm as day old chicks, for the first few weeks they are reared under heat before being moved into large, open sided barns. All our turkeys are dry–plucked, hung and allowed to mature for 7–10 days, and dressed for you by hand.
