What is a black-legged chicken?

Black-legged chicken is also called poulet noir and the name of course speaks for itself. This chicken not only has black feathers, but also jet black legs.

Poulet Noir is truly top quality free-range chicken and has therefore been awarded the superior Label Rouge (3* Better Life from the Animal Protection Society). The chickens live at least 100 days and are therefore larger with more meat on the carcass.

Black-legged chicken Label Rouge

Label Rouge is a unique production method with 3* Better Life from the Animal Protection Society.

The farms always offer free outdoor range, with always access to shady meadows (minimum 2 m2 per chicken!). The chickens are fed 100% vegetable food that consists of at least 75% grains, supplemented with vegetable proteins (such as peas). The animals live longer, making the meat firmer and tastier. In short: chicken meat at its best and fairest...
