🐔🌿 **FREE-RANGE vs. FREE-ROAMING — what's the difference?
“Free-range” generally means chickens have access to an outdoor area for at least part of the day. It doesn’t necessarily mean they roam freely—the outdoor space may be fenced, limited, or connected to their coop.
Our chickens are "free-roaming." ❤️
They move throughout the property, choosing where to go, what to explore, where to scratch, when to rest, and what catches their curiosity.
And that matters.
Free-roaming—whether we’re talking about chickens or horses—provides opportunities for natural movement and exercise and exposure to a greater diversity of terrain, vegetation, foods, sunshine, shade, and places to explore. For chickens, that means scratching, foraging, dust-bathing, climbing, hunting for insects and seeds, and interacting with an ever-changing environment.
It supports physical health and natural behavior, but it also reflects something we value deeply at BEYOND Liberty:
Choice.
The ability to move, explore, forage, rest, and engage with the environment in ways that come naturally to them.
We talk a lot about voice, choice, and liberty when it comes to our horses. Those values apply to all the animals. 🐴🐔❤️
Liberty isn’t just for the herd—it’s for every hoof, paw, claw, and feather around here.
