Their flesh is tender and flavorful. This feature makes them highly sought after in both commercial markets and home kitchens.

The Jackie Chicken: A Country Broiler
We’re happy to provide these meaty, slow-growing broilers to you – straight from our family’s farm. These crossbred, slow-growing, heavy-bodied, red broilers have been developed to have a longer keel and to provide more of a “country chicken” feel. Jackie's reach market weight more slowly than others, by 11-13 weeks of age.
Sami’s FFA Project:
Hi, I’m Sami Risen and I am a student at Mondovi High School. I have been an active member of the Mondovi FFA for the past 4 years, and part of that includes having an “SAE” (Supervised agricultural experience) project. My SAE is poultry production, which is how I created Rise’n Shine poultry. For the past two summers I have been raising meat birds as well as taking care of my flock of laying hens. My meat birds are “rangers”, which is a type of chicken that does best in a free-range environment, a healthy alternative to the fast-growing white broiler chickens. These ranger-types are also known for their friendly and curious temperament, which makes them easy to handle and interact with. My chickens are raised having access to lots of yard-space to spend their days roaming in the sunshine, scratching and pecking, giving them access to a natural and diverse diet. It is so rewarding seeing the chickens grow from small chicks into large, healthy birds. Raising these meat birds has taught me a lot about responsibility and problem solving. I have to keep their feed and water full, and the coops clean all summer. This spring I received the 1st place award for poultry production at our chapter FFA banquet for my work with these meat birds. I hope you enjoy eating the birds as much as I enjoyed raising them! Thank you for supporting my poultry project! :)
