Label Rouge Chickens come from Hardy breeds, selected for the quality of their meat and their slow growth (golden or black feathers).
Label Rouge chickens are reared in small, well-lit poultryhouses (400 m² maximum per poultryhouse) in natural daylight. Chicken farms are allowed a maximum of four poultryhouses.
The maximum stocking rate inside the poultryhouse must not exceed 11 chickens per m².
As soon as their feathers are fully developed, the fowl are let outside and allowed to roam free on large grassy and/or shady areas comprising:
* At least 2 m² per subject for “free-range” traditional chicken (around 1 hectare per poultryhouse),
* Unlimited range for traditional chicken reared “in total freedom”.
Their feed must contain at least 75% cereals and cereal products during the fattening period.
Label Rouge traditional chickens are not slaughtered until they reach an age ranging between 81 and 110 days, according to the Label Rouge (this is at least twice as old as a standard chicken).
Label Rouge chickens are Class A fowl (European standard pertaining to external appearance) and must therefore be perfect in terms of their presentation.

Fantastic tasting chicken. I was dissatisfied with the 'limp' meat from most British chicken, even organic and free range, and ordered several poulets de Bresse before (£30 per unit) and found that the meat was too gelatinous, especially on the thighs, and that the breasts were comparatively too small. The Mistral chickens are perfect. The meat is very flavoursome, tender and yet not overly soft. The proportion of breast to thigh and leg is normal. These chickens roast well and make an excellent gravy. And the price is very reasonable given the quality. My only reservation is that, as other reviewers have noted, the weight can be much lower than what was ordered. But the quality of the chickens warrants taking this small risk.

only problem,I didn't get what I ordered which was Loue corn fed chicken,nor the size I asked for,too small. No issue with quality but must try harder to supply what the customer asks for.

We had this chicken roasted with lemon, thyme, garlic and olive oil. Delicious! However we did thought the description said it is 1.5 to 1.8 Kg, but chicken is only 1.4 Kg. Just enough for two. Not quite sure if order is by weight at all. Hopefully when we order next, we can have a bigger one. BTW, delivery was by hand, excellent!
