For a number of years now we have been producing traditionally reared quality roasting chickens. They range from around 6 lbs to an enormous 15 lbs in weight (oven ready). We believe that the incredible flavour and tenderness of our birds is a result of being given time to mature slowly, dry plucked and then hung for a few days.

	These chicks are only a few days old and are still at the cuddly stage. At this point the most important thing is to keep them warm and give them plenty of food and water, but they will soon be ready to enjoy the outdoor life.
	These chickens are around seven weeks old. We get the chicks as day olds and grow them on slowly to allow them to mature; improving the flavour and texture of the finished bird.
	These are some of our larger chickens - around sixteen to eighteen weeks old. Whilst running around they can be quite vicious but once cooked they are indeed delicious!
	This is one of our largest chickens about to be enjoyed. The flavour is such that it has simply been roasted for 20 minutes per pound @ 190 degrees Celsius - wrapped in tinfoil, then given a final 20 minutes

These birds are available, oven ready from selected outlets in the Edinburgh area. Now also available mail order from Crombies of Edinburgh Tel. 0131 557 0111. For further details you can telephone us on 01721 752297 or e-mail us at linda_dick@lineone.net
