English Label (formerly Label Anglais) was started in 2001 by Chris Fredericks, a traditional turkey farmer from Essex. His aim was to reproduce a British version of the French Label Rouge chicken, a very high welfare, 80 day reared, corn fed chicken, which, wherever it may have been reared in France, would always have been farmed to the same standards. The small group of farmers that started Label Rouge in 1965 with a shared passion for welfare and quality famously scribbled down the welfare standards on the back of a restaurant menu, a copy of which exists today. These standards are now set in history and adhered to by every Label Rouge producer across France
Following the success of Adlington Farms’ free-range English Label chickens we are going one step further to offer you free-range English Label Apple Fed Cockerel. These are grown to full maturity of 70-80 days and the breed is carefully selected for its ability to thrive outdoors and live twice as long as commercial chickens.
This gives them a longer and happier life of freedom out in the fields which is reflected in the amazing eating quality of the bird. English Label Apple Fed Cockerel are fed on a diet including wheat, maize and whole natural oats. The end product is simply incredible in taste and texture. A taste like no other!
