Ingredients

Directions

  1. bout 55km south of Perth, near the town of Serpentine, youâÂÂll ﬠnd chicken farmer Matt Evans, 37, with more than a quarter of a million white-feathered fowls.
  2. MattâÂÂs chickens are âÂÂbarn raisedâ in seven large state-of-the-art sheds on the Evansâ 60ha family farm.
  3. Yet he wasnâÂÂt always a chicken farmer.
  4. Back in 1994, Matt was at university studying agricultural science when his father, Ken, and his mother, Helen, decided to build a chicken farm.
  5. The family quickly discovered that the life of a chicken farmer is a busy one.
  6. âÂÂWe operate Even in the middle of the night?
  7. Yes!
  8. If an alarm sounds to announce a problem occurring in one of the sheds, such as a heater going kaput, then up Matt gets.
  9. And come 6am, after the chickens begin to wake, Matt must walk through each shed several times inspecting them, their feed supplies and their environmental conditions.
  10. âÂÂWe also control temperature, wind speed, humidity and ammonia levels,â Matt explains.

  12. On a hot day here, often the best

  14. So, Matt, which comes ﬠrst, the chicken or the egg?
  15. âÂÂThe chicken!
  16. It doesnâÂÂt matter what time of the day it is, the animals come ﬠrst,â he says.
  17. âÂÂEven on Christmas Day, the chickens are checked before we sit The chickens are collected when they are seven weeks old.
  18. After all the chickens have ﬠown the coop, so to speak, the sheds are cleaned out and sanitised, and the whole process starts again.
  19. The two I come across every day are that meat chickens are caged, and that chicken farmers use hormones.
  20. In Australia, you have only two production systems for meat birds: barn-raised - where the chickens all live in controlled-environment barns; and free range - where the chickens are
  21. let out into a ranged area around the shed.
  22. Our chickens are barn-raised and audited to meet strict standards
