Stewing Hen

Stewing hens are laying hens that are no longer productive egg producers... Don't expect a lot of meat here, but they are still an excellent part of your real food supply in the form of nutrient-dense Chicken Stock. Like beef roasts, stewing hens need to be cooked at a low heat for several hours before the meat begins to fall off the bone. When cooked correctly, stewing hens yield delicious meat and rich, flavorful chicken stock.

Here is Dawn's Chicken Stock Recipe to help you create nutrient-dense stock from these Stewing Hens.

Truly pastured, chemical-free, soy-free chicken moved each day to fresh grass on our own certified organic pastures! This moving is extremely important. It allows our birds to forage a diet of bugs, grubs, flies and a complete salad bar of plants and grasses.
