The White Giant meat birds offer extraordinary
tender meat. The amount of breast meat per bird is impressive. As these
birds gain weight very fast we try to find the right balance between
good meat quality and a healthy, lively bird. For that reason we raise
our baby chicks inside until they reach an age of three weeks. Then we
transfer them to the outside and finish them in groups on green pastures
until they are ready to be harvested.
Especially for these fast growing birds it is
very important to be outside as soon as possible. Their metabolism is
quick and they require excellent feed quality and a lot of sunlight to
produce enough Vitamin D for their body. To support them with extra
calcium we feed all our birds Oyster shells as well.The White Giants are usually ready to be harvested at 8 to 9 weeks. Their weight ranges from 4 to 7 lbs.
Rhode Island Red
Beside the White Giants we also raise Rhode
Island Reds to have smaller birds available too. This breed is just
perfect on pasture. They do not grow as fast as the White Giants,
meaning that these birds are ready to be harvested when they are 12
weeks or older. Their weight ranges from 2, 5 to 4 lbs which is a very
good size for a dual purpose breed like the Rhode Island Red.
They don’t have as much breast meat as the White
Giant Meat Birds but still offer sizable breasts and combined with an
excellent taste and a lot of darker meat (legs and wings) the Rhode
Island Reds are a perfect meat bird. Due to their smaller size, they
are in high demand by our customers who live in single or two-person
households.
Turkeys
These good looking and amazingly friendly birds
would be a good choice as pets too! They will follow you wherever you
go.We start all of our turkeys together with the chickens in smaller
groups and separate them when they start to be significantly bigger than
the chickens. But of course they are transferred to the outside after
three weeks as well. Turkeys are very interesting birds, they love to
explore, peck and look for everything that is shiny or resembles an
insect. We raise two different breeds of turkeys.
Broad Bronze Breasted Turkeys
The Broad Bronze Breasted Turkeys need more time
to reach the ideal weight for slaughtering than the Nicolas White
Turkeys do but their meat quality is excellent, rich in flavour and are
great to be raised on pasture.
Their weight ranges from 14 to 18 lbs, depending
on the age and sex. We know that a lot of people are looking for
smaller birds so we hope we are able to fulfil our customers’ needs with
this breed.
Nicholas Heavy White Turkeys
This breed is known worldwide and loved for its
soft and tender meat. They grow as fast as the White Giants and need a
lot of Calcium in their ratio. Their slaughter weight ranges from 18 to
almost 20 lbs.The perfect dinner solution for those large Thanksgiving
family gatherings.
