POLLO REAL CHICKEN vs. Natural & Free Range

Pollo Real’s environmentally sound model provides many advantages over traditional commercial poultry operations, including so-called "free-range" and "natural" chickens that are raised in huge factory farm operations.

1. ‣ Pollo Real chickens are raised in small portable pens without bottoms that are moved daily on fresh planted millet, oats, wheat, chicory and brassicas and supplemented with wholesome grains.
   

2. ➡  Natural and free range meat growers use conventional animal feed that may contain pesticides, toxins, antibiotics or growth enhancers.
   

1. ‣ Pollo Real chickens are not debeaked allowing them to forage easily.
   

2. ➡  Free-range birds are commonly debeaked and raised in crowded buildings with access to only barren, fenced yards.
   

1. ‣  The Pollo Real model uses less than 10% of  the water typically used  in factory farming and helps build soil as these birds are grazing and composting.
   

2. ➡  Free-range and natural birds raised in large factory farm buildings excessively waste "potable water" and pollute aquifers with runoff from waste piles.
   

1. ‣  Pollo Real chickens are moved daily over fields of  fresh greens, allowing New Mexico's fresh air and sunshine into the pens and eliminating any contamination with pathogens and parasites.
   

2. ➡  Free-range and natural chickens raised in large factory farm buildings allow for contamination with parasites and  pathogens with build up of fecal matter and poor ventilation.
