Whole Chicken – Small

A pasture-raised whole bird in a smaller, more flexible size.

Each small whole chicken weighs approximately 3 lbs., with a natural range of 2.5–3.5 lbs.. These birds are raised with real pasture access and a carefully sourced non-GMO feed protocol, delivering clean, dependable flavor in a more compact size. Ideal for smaller households or quicker roasting, this whole bird still provides multiple meals from a single purchase. For families who cook regularly, our Buy More, Save More options make stocking up practical.
