Ranching isn’t a fairytale. It’s early mornings, late nights, and choosing the harder path on purpose. Less than 2% of this country feeds the rest. Even fewer do it independently, direct to consumer. Some call it “living the dream.” Truth is, dreams take work. Showing up

Day 18- Pest Control Spray? Chickens on pasture naturally help control insects and pests. We had army worms come through and wipe out the grass in our yard. But out in the pasture where the chickens were? Totally fine. No need for any sprays or insecticide. They spend all

Day 17- Colorblind Chickens? Chickens are not color blind. They actually see color very well. That helps them find bugs, seeds, and plants while they forage. On pasture, they get to use that instinct every day. Follow along if you want to learn more about where your food

The illusion of choice. It’s all the same companies, just a different label. Same for chicken and beef at any store
All funneling money back to the same conglomerates controlling the food system…

Day 16- Chickens Fly? Well, most chickens can fly short distances but meat birds usually don’t. Most chickens raised for meat can’t fly very far because their bodies are bred to grow quickly. That fast growth can limit movement and how those birds naturally behave. On pasture,

Day 15- Exercise? Diet and exercise have a big impact on how chicken tastes and the texture of the meat. Chickens raised indoors in crowded barns have limited movement and eat mostly grain feed, which can result in softer, less flavorful meat. Our pasture-raised birds get plenty

Day 14--Chicken Eat Rocks? Chickens swallow small stones called grit that help grind food in their gizzard. Chickens raised on pasture naturally pick up grit as they scratch and forage. It is just part of how their digestive system is designed to work. We live in Kansas and there

Day 13- Naps? Chickens are most active early in the morning and later in the evening. That is when you will see them out scratching, foraging, and moving across pasture. Midday is usually rest time, especially in the heat. This natural rhythm is very different from birds raised

Day 12-Dirt Bath? Chickens naturally take dust baths to clean their feathers and control parasites. Birds raised indoors or in crowded barns rarely have the space or dry ground to do this, which is an important part of their natural behavior and overall health. At Rattlesnake

Day 11-Pasture-Raised=Small?? Pasture raised does not automatically mean a small farm. Large farms can also use that label. In fact, some pasture raised brands are owned by large corporations. For example, Pasturebird was acquired by Perdue in 2020. So while the label may sound

Day 10-Yellow? The yellow color sometimes seen in chicken fat can come from grass and plants in the bird's diet. That is something chickens raised on pasture naturally have access to. If you want pasture raised chicken, we ship every Monday and Tuesday. #PastureRaised

Day 9 of Rattlesnake Bite of the Day. Chickens raised outdoors tend to develop stronger leg muscles because they move around all day. Does that make the meat tougher? Not necessarily. It can be a little firmer, but that is also where you get more flavor and better texture when it

Day 8-Color? Chicken color can vary depending on what the bird eats. Birds raised on pasture often develop richer color from the grass and plants in their diet. Unlike conventional chicken, which is often pale due to indoor, sedentary living, pasture-raised chickens move,

Day 7-Grain? Even pasture raised chickens still eat grain feed. Ours are fed a supplemental grain that is nonGMO, no soy and non medicated. But when chickens live on pasture they also get grass, bugs, and sunshine as part of their diet. Follow along for more quick bites about

Day-6-Fertilizer? When chickens move across open pasture, they do more than just scratch and peck. They naturally fertilize the soil as they go. Instead of waste piling up in barns, it becomes part of a thriving, regenerative pasture system. Want to taste the difference of real

Day 5- Regular Movement?
Not all “pasture raised” chickens live the same life. Some farms leave birds in one spot for too long, which means less fresh grass and fewer bugs to forage. At Rattlesnake, we move our flocks regularly so they always have fresh pasture under their feet,
