ROCKY the Range Chicken is larger in size — a roaster size bird. It is 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 lbs — ready to cook. The larger size is due to the fact that ROCKY the Range Chicken has 2 to 3 weeks more growing time and is approximately 9 to 10 weeks old when processed. This additional growing time contributes to the old fashioned flavor found in ROCKY the Range Chickens. ROCKY the Range Chicken is a true range chicken; it has an outdoor pen to roam in and forage freely, in addition to their enclosed poultry house. ROCKY JUNIOR is a smaller-size, fryer-broiler size bird. It is 3 to 4 lbs and approximately 7 weeks old when processed. ROCKY JUNIOR is allowed to roam freely in a spacious house but is not allowed to go outdoors. While both ROCKY the Range Chicken and ROCKY JUNIOR are antibiotic free and fed the same vegetarian diet, ROCKY JUNIOR was developed after ROCKY the Range Chicken to provide the choice of a smaller bird to the consumer.
