Coastal Grass Chicken

Coastal Grass Chicken

　　Coastal Grass Chicken is a specialty of Jiepai Town, Binhai County, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province. The Jiepai Coastal Grass Chickens are raised by local farmers, free-ranging during the day to forage on their own, and then given a supplement in the evening—typically just by-products of the household’s grain, such as bran, mixed with some greens. Chickens raised this way for one or two years yield the best-quality free-range grass chicken meat.

　　Jiepai Town is rich in natural resources and has strong production characteristics. The town raises a total of 3 million grass chickens, with its “Lüjie Brand” and “Baijiacun Brand” grass chickens and chicken eggs sold in over ten large and medium-sized cities across the country, including Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Nanjing. Chicks are exported to more than ten provinces and cities, including Tibet, Anhui, Shandong, and Jiangxi, making it the top grass chicken-producing town in Yancheng City.
