They are not free range/organic, but they seem pretty good to me!

"What makes Willow Farm unique?

1. Willow Farm chickens are a slow growing breed that develops better flavour, greater succulence and texture.
2. Willow Farm chickens are housed in spacious barns with straw bales to perch on. The barns have large windows providing them with natural light.
3. Only British chicken is used for our willow farm range
4. The birds are fed a specially formulated vegetarian diet which gives a better flavoured, more succulent chicken"

And from Tesco:

Willow Farm chicken is our newest range of chicken. It was launched to offer a more affordable, high-welfare option to customers. These chickens are housed in spacious barns at the RSPCA-recommended stocking density, with straw bales to perch on and large windows providing the birds with natural light that stimulates activity. They are fed a maize enriched diet and are a slower growing breed that gives an enhanced flavour. All our Willow Farm chickens are sourced from British farms and by January 2009 will fully meet the RSPCA standards.

You'll never get organic / free range for this price. But this is good for cash strapped families.

I've been buying Willow Farm for quite a while now, as an ethical compromise - I can't afford free range, but don't want to buy battery chicken. It's quite expensive though, normally more like £6 or £7 for a chicken...

I'll have to see if I can get a few in my feezer if the sale is still on...

willow farm chicken usually tastes as good as free range too :cool:

Not in my store today. Booo - can't believe I missed this offer. We're a Willow Farm chicken family. Not battery chickens, but raised to RSPCA standards I think.

Plus we find they have more meat on them than a battery chicken, so you get 3 meals out of a WF chicken compared to 2 from battery.

And they taste nicer!
