Meat chickens are raised to a higher-welfare standard, beyond what is legally required.
Meat chickens on free range RSPCA Certified farms are free to roam outdoors during daylight hours once fully feathered, and, whether raised to our indoor or outdoor requirements, have environments with provisions to encourage activity and natural behaviours and fed a full, nutritious diet.
It indicates better welfare, and you can find RSPCA Certified products in supermarkets, and many of your favourite eating spots.

Animal welfare is seen by customers as an important part of a brand’s social responsibility. RSPCA Certified is recognised by Australians as meaning animals have been farmed with consideration of their welfare.
A strict chain of custody program means that all RSPCA Certified ingredients can be traced from point of sale right back to the farm and refers to handling of all RSPCA Certified products.
