Sommerlad heritage chicken drumsticks - 500g
Grassland Sommerlad Heritage chickens arrive fresh every fortnight so, depending on when you order, your chicken may be frozen.
One of the most striking differences between Sommerlad Heritage chickens and conventional White Broiler chickens (which make up 99.9% of Australian meat chickens) are the legs which are much longer and more powerful and, therefore, much more flavoursome.Â
About Grassland Sommerlad chickens
They live up to four times longer than the generic, white broiler chickens that make up 99.9% of the Australian meat chicken industry and the slow growth and genetics allow for the development of strong bones and more deeply flavoured meat. Sommerlad birds have longer legs and more even meat distribution than the breast-heavy white broiler chicken and they are vigorous, athletic, curious hunters, ranging far afield in search of grubs and green pick.
They’re wonderful to look at too, with multi-coloured feathers and a variety of colours, shapes and sizes - breeds include Transylvanian Naked Necks, Australian Game, Croad Langshan and Plymouth Rock.
