Thoughtful Producer Free Range Whole Chicken Typically: 2.3kg

Fabulously Free Range Whole Chicken, the highest welfare chicken to serve at a dinner party or to treat your family with your Sunday Roast. An alternative to a joint of beef, lamb or game, with generous portions to serve 4 – 6 guests. 

Brought to you by the same farming family that produce the award-winning Copas turkeys every Christmas. Determined to bring flavour back to British flocks the Copas Traditional Turkeys team launched The Thoughtful Producer in 2015. 

The team is a motley crew of foodies, poultry pros and farming fanatics who love nothing more than to feed their flocks, both bird and human. They are happiest when they are doing things the thoughtful way which is why, for them, ensuring that their chickens live full and long lives roaming free across rolling meadows is the right thing to do. 

This motley crew embrace artisan methods that take time, care and expertise. By slow growing their birds, the Thoughtful Producer ensure that the care and attention they receive in life is reflected in the succulent, rich and memory making flavour. 

Expert foragers, cocooned in the heart of the countryside our feathered ladies are not afraid to take on the mighty worm, climb a crate or just let the breeze ruffle their feathers. We like to let nature (and our husbandry team) do all the hard work so that our birds are free to do what birds do best, in their own time. It's not the quickest way to rear chickens, but it's the right way, and for us, it's the only way. 

From an award-winning start as best in category for "From the Field (Primary)" of the inaugural Delicious Food awards, the Thoughtful Producer chickens have developed a following of chefs and foodies across the UK and are guaranteed to impress the most discerning of dinner guests.
