Whole Stewing Hen - Pasture Raised - Soy Free - Corn Free - Non-GMO What's the difference in a stewing hen vs a broiler? These are our old laying hens.

Instapot is the best way we've found to maintain tenderness. Only offered once a year in small quantities, these are a great freezer filler and a fantastic value. Show more
