The Bird That Changes Everything
Our Pasture-Raised Whole Chicken is the bird that converts grocery store chicken buyers into Ferguson Farms customers for life. Raised on open pastures their entire lives — living outdoors, foraging naturally, and with the room to fully express their chicken-ness — the difference in flavor, texture, and quality is immediate and unmistakable. Roast it, smoke it, spatchcock it, or slow-cook it into the best chicken soup you've ever made. No hormones, antibiotics, or artificial additives. Ever.
What Makes This Different
- 100% Pasture-Raised — Raised outdoors their entire lives on open pasture, foraging naturally and with the room to fully express their chicken-ness. The result is richer flavor and better texture than any confinement-raised bird.
- No Hormones or Antibiotics — Clean poultry raised the way it should be.
- Larger Than Average — Jumbo sizing means more meat for family dinners, meal prep, or making stock.
- No GMOs or Artificial Additives — A pure product, free from unnecessary inputs.
- Vacuum Sealed at Peak Freshness — Locks in quality and prevents freezer burn.
- Ships Frozen Nationwide — Arrives at your door ready for the freezer.
How to Cook a Whole Chicken
Season generously inside and out with our Combat Canary Poultry Seasoning, then roast at 425°F for 60–75 minutes until the thigh reaches 165°F and the skin is deep golden brown. For extra crispiness, dry-brine uncovered in the refrigerator overnight before roasting. Alternatively, spatchcock (remove the backbone and flatten) for a faster, more even cook — 45–50 minutes at 425°F. Rest 10 minutes before carving. Save the carcass for the richest homemade chicken stock you've ever made.
Nutrition & Health
Pasture-raised chickens offer a superior nutritional profile compared to conventionally raised poultry — higher in omega-3s, vitamins, and antioxidants as a direct result of their natural diet and outdoor lifestyle.
- Higher in Omega-3 Fatty Acids — A healthier fat profile than confinement-raised birds.
- Rich in Vitamins A, D & E — From natural sunlight and a varied pasture diet.
- Clean Protein Source — No fillers, no additives, no antibiotics.
- Keto, Paleo, Whole30 & Carnivore Friendly — Fits virtually every clean-eating protocol.
Frequently Asked Questions
Free-range only requires that chickens have some access to the outdoors — the space and quality of that access is not regulated. Pasture-raised means the birds live outdoors their entire lives on actual pasture, with significant space, fresh grass, and natural foraging opportunities. Our chickens are raised outdoors from start to finish — not given occasional outdoor access, but living on pasture as nature intended.
Spatchcocking means removing the backbone and flattening the chicken before roasting. It reduces cook time by 30–40%, promotes more even cooking, and produces crispier skin across the entire bird. Use kitchen shears to cut along both sides of the backbone, remove it, then press the bird flat. Season generously and roast at 425°F for 45–50 minutes.
Yes. Our chickens are raised without added hormones or antibiotics at any point. This is a core standard across every product we sell.
Absolutely — and you should. Pasture-raised chicken carcasses make exceptional stock because the bones are denser and more mineral-rich than confinement-raised birds. Simmer the carcass with aromatics for 4–6 hours, or 10–12 hours in a slow cooker, for a deeply flavorful, gelatinous stock.
Each whole chicken is vacuum-sealed to preserve freshness and prevent freezer burn. Orders are packed in an insulated box with dry ice and shipped frozen nationwide. Your order will arrive ready for the freezer.
When kept frozen in its vacuum-sealed packaging, the whole chicken maintains peak quality for up to 12 months. For best flavor, consume within 6–9 months.
Yes. Standard shipping is free on all orders over $159. Bundle your whole chicken with other cuts or seasonings to hit the threshold easily.

★★★★★
"I cooked one of the whole chickens and it just melted in my mouth. What a unique experience it was to eat properly raised chickens who can roam freely. Such a wonderful difference from grocery store chickens!"
★★★★★
"The whole chicken — the tastiest homemade chicken soup. The pastured meat is by far the best we have tasted and was delivered on time completely frozen with no issues."
★★★★★
"The chicken literally melted in our mouths — such a difference from the store bought chicken. We will definitely order again!"
★★★★★
"It browned evenly, was very juicy, and tasted like chicken should! It is important to know the source of your meat and how it is grown. No store bought, rubbery, mystery injected chicken for my family."
