Description
Introducing our Day Old Chicks, a product that embodies our commitment to humane and ethical practices in animal processing. These chicks are processed using specialized machinery developed in collaboration with Honeybrook Farm, the Humane Slaughter Association, and Dr. M. Raj, an animal welfare specialist from the University of Bristol. We understand the importance of ethical treatment throughout the entire process, from raising to processing. Our partnership with leading experts ensures that the euthanization process is conducted with the utmost care and consideration for animal welfare.
Day old chicks are considered a whole-prey food source, offering a balanced and natural diet for dogs, Cats, Ferrets, Reptiles and Raptors. They contain muscle meat, soft bones, organs, beak, legs, feet, and downy feathers, providing a complete nutrient profile that closely mimics what animals would consume in the wild.
