Pastured Chicken Necks — The Foundation of the World's Best Bone Broth
Our pastured chicken necks are the single best cut for making deeply nourishing, collagen-rich bone broth at home. Packed with cartilage, connective tissue, and bone marrow, chicken necks dissolve slowly during a long simmer to produce a broth with extraordinary body, richness, and nutritional density that store-bought broth simply cannot replicate. Raised outdoors their entire lives on open pasture with room to fully express their chicken-ness — antibiotic-free, hormone-free, and raised on our Florida farmstead. No GMOs, no additives, no shortcuts. Ever.
Why Pasture-Raised Chicken Necks Make Better Broth
- 100% Pasture-Raised — Raised outdoors their entire lives on open pasture, foraging naturally with room to fully express their chicken-ness. Pasture-raised bones are denser and more mineral-rich than factory-farmed alternatives.
- Exceptionally High in Collagen & Cartilage — The neck contains more cartilage per unit than almost any other cut — the primary source of gelatin that gives bone broth its characteristic silky, gelatinous texture.
- Antibiotic-Free & Hormone-Free — No added hormones, steroids, or antibiotics at any point. Ever.
- No GMOs, MSG, or Artificial Additives — Raised on our Florida farmstead with nothing to hide.
- Vacuum Sealed at Peak Freshness — Locks in quality and prevents freezer burn.
- Ships Frozen Nationwide — Packed with dry ice, delivered to your door.
How to Make Bone Broth with Chicken Necks
Add chicken necks to a large stockpot or slow cooker with aromatics — celery, carrot, onion, garlic, parsley, and thyme. Cover with cold water, add a splash of apple cider vinegar to help extract minerals from the bones, and simmer on low for 12–24 hours. The longer the simmer, the more collagen and minerals dissolve into the broth. Strain, season with our Celtic Sea Salt Fine Ground, and drink as-is or use as the base for soups, stews, and sauces. A properly made batch should gel when refrigerated — that gelatin is the marker of a truly nourishing broth.
Nutritional Benefits of Pastured Chicken Necks
Chicken necks are one of the most collagen-dense cuts available — the foundation of a bone broth that supports joint health, gut integrity, skin elasticity, and deep nourishment.
- Extremely High in Collagen Precursors — Supports joint health, skin elasticity, and gut lining integrity.
- Rich in Calcium, Phosphorus & Magnesium — Essential minerals that dissolve into the broth during long simmers.
- High in Glycine — An amino acid that supports sleep quality, liver detoxification, and collagen synthesis.
- Keto, Paleo, Carnivore & Whole30 Approved — A cornerstone of ancestral nutrition and gut-healing protocols.
Frequently Asked Questions
Chicken necks contain an exceptional concentration of cartilage, connective tissue, and small bones — all of which are rich in collagen. During a long simmer, the collagen breaks down into gelatin, which gives bone broth its characteristic body and silky texture, and provides the glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline that make bone broth nutritionally distinct from regular stock. The more cartilage in the pot, the more gelatinous and nourishing the broth.
Stock is simmered for 3–6 hours and used primarily as a cooking liquid for flavor. Bone broth is simmered for 12–24 hours, which extracts significantly more collagen, gelatin, minerals, and amino acids from the bones and cartilage. A properly made bone broth will gel when refrigerated — that gelatin is the primary marker of nutritional quality. Stock typically does not gel.
A minimum of 12 hours for a nutritious broth, and up to 24 hours for maximum collagen and mineral extraction. In a slow cooker on low, 20–24 hours is the target. On the stovetop, maintain a very gentle simmer — never a rolling boil, which can cloud the broth and break down the gelatin. Always add a splash of apple cider vinegar at the start — the acid helps draw minerals out of the bones.
Yes — a properly made bone broth from collagen-rich cuts like chicken necks should gel or partially gel when chilled. This gelatin is the primary marker of a nutritionally dense broth. If your broth does not gel, either the simmer time was too short, the ratio of bones to water was too dilute, or the bones were not collagen-rich enough. Chicken necks are one of the best cuts for achieving a gelled broth.

★★★★★
"I ordered chicken necks and feet as part of an autoimmune cleanse — the bone broth was the best I had ever tasted. The unbelievably tender, juicy meats were the real star."
★★★★★
"I'll be making bone broth from the chicken feet. I also ordered the colostrum and collagen. Ferguson Farms delivers on every level."
★★★★★
"All of the meats and my much loved chicken broth were still frozen solid upon arrival. It is really appreciated — some other food delivery services I tried were completely unthawed."
★★★★★
"I had not tasted chicken this good since I was a kid. The texture, the taste reminded me of my mother's dinners. You have to taste for yourself and remember how good natural healthy meat is."
