When she was 100 years old, she took us down the driveway to teach us how to slaughter a chicken – the way she had done year after year every time she desired chicken for dinner. She stood in the kitchen with me and showed me her tricks for dressing a bird. When I decided to start a poultry business, I wanted to honor her memory and all that she taught us. Her nickname growing up was “Babe”, which
her siblings still called her even in her 90’s. At Babe’s Birds, we strive to raise our chickens and turkeys the way nature intended. They are given conditions as close as we can create to their natural habitat. Our birds range freely on open pasture that has not been treated with pesticides or chemical fertilizers. They feed on plants, insects, and other small animals that they are designed to eat. We never use antibiotics or medications. All of our birds are processed right here where they are grown. We never have to transport them, which would cause them stress and reduce the quality of the meat. We sell chicken and turkey meat, eggs, chicks and poults. We also offer limited processing services.
