organic chicken
Free-range certified bird
Organic chicken is poultry raised according to certified standards that typically prohibit antibiotics, synthetic hormones, and require organic feed.
The term appears on packaging and menus to signal healthier or more ethical production: We only buy organic chicken.
The designation commands premium prices and implies the bird had better living conditions than conventionally raised poultry.
