Since
1987, Wellington Farms chickens have been hatched, fed and
raised on farms located in Central Pennsylvania’s Amish Country.
Kreamer Feed Company, now in its 60th year, has provided
Wellington Farms with top quality free range, antibiotic-free,
all vegetarian feed broilers and roasters for almost 20 years.
We believe that Wellington Farms chickens are the best ones out
there and for a good reason. We’ve regularly done comparisons
with chickens produced by our competitors but have found none to
be any better than ours. Our conclusion comes as the result of
many incremental ingredients which go into the making of a
Wellington Farms chicken. Included are the specific breed
genetics of our chicken breeder flocks – we use a roaster breed
rather than a broiler breed; the high quality corn and soybeans
used to formulate our feeds; the absence of any animal or bakery
by-products used in feed formulations, and experienced,
knowledgeable chicken farmers with high quality, well managed
grow out facilities. Just as all automobiles are not alike, all
chickens are not alike; some are better than others.
Recent concerns involving Avian Influenza and a possible
mutation of the AI virus which could impact humans has mandated
some changes in how our chickens are raised. Wellington Farms
chickens are no longer given access to the outdoors where they
could come into contact with wild birds most likely to carry the
highly contagious, deadly (only to other birds) virus. Instead,
our free roaming chickens are now raised entirely indoors in
spacious barns with screened open sides which provide plenty of
natural daylight to our flocks. We don’t crowd our chickens in
the barns and provide lots of space for each chicken to freely
roam, feed and drink.
Many competitors make the same label claims as ours, but
consumers don’t serve and eat label claims. There is a
difference in chickens and reasons for those differences. We
invite you to compare Wellington Farms chickens with any others
and judge for yourself.
