Pasture-raised hens eat a diet of grass and bugs in addition to their grain diet. Conventionally raised birds, on the other hand, are fed a strictly grain diet.
Less Fat and Cholesterol
The American Heart Association recommends reducing intake of both saturated fat and cholesterol in order to reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke
More Vitamin A
Vitamin A promotes the healthy development of teeth, bones, soft tissue and tissues in the eyes needed for good vision; it also acts as an antioxidant and protects cells from damage
More Vitamin E
Vitamin E also protects cells by acting as an antioxidant, in addition to promoting healthy blood and circulatory system function
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids are a form of polyunsaturated fat known as "essential" fatty acids because the body cannot manufacture them on its own; you must consume them from food. Omega-3s are connected to heart health, lowering cholesterol and blood pressure, and other potential health benefits such as decreased risk of diabetes, stroke, digestive disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, some cancers and dementia.
How your food is grown or raised can have a major impact on your mental and emotional health as well as the environment. Organic foods often have more beneficial nutrients, such as antioxidants, than their conventionally-grown counterparts and people with allergies to foods, chemicals, or preservatives often find their symptoms lessen or go away when they eat only organic foods.
Organic produce contains fewer pesticides. Chemicals such as fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides are widely used in conventional agriculture and residues remain on (and in) the food we eat.
Organic food is often fresher because it doesn’t contain preservatives that make it last longer. Organic produce is often (but not always, so watch where it is from) produced on smaller farms near where it is sold.
Organic farming is better for the environment. Organic farming practices reduce pollution, conserve water, reduce soil erosion, increase soil fertility, and use less energy. Farming without pesticides is also better for nearby birds and animals as well as people who live close to farms.
Organically raised animals are NOT given antibiotics, growth hormones, or fed animal byproducts. Feeding livestock animal byproducts increases the risk of mad cow disease (BSE) and the use of antibiotics can create antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. Organically-raised animals are given more space to move around and access to the outdoors, which help to keep them healthy.
Organic meat and milk are richer in certain nutrients. levels of certain nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, were up to 50 percent higher in organic meat and milk than in conventionally raised versions.

Fewer toxins in your diet
Whether pasture-fed or grain fed, one of the advantages of eating free range is that there is less risk that you are going to have toxins in your diet. The commercially produced chickens, placed under various stresses such as high stocking densities, generally require a lot of antibiotics and various other drugs in order to maintain production levels at optimal rates. antibiotic use in the commercial meat chicken production systems may lead to trace amounts of these antibiotics and chemicals finding their way to your table and your body. This could even be leading to antibiotic resistance in some people who eat a lot of chicken produced under these conditions. If you have an unethical farm using growth hormones in their chickens and these find their way into the human system, there is no telling how damage they could cause. In the past, growth hormones were found to cause cancer which led to their wholesale ban more than four decades ago in some countries. But why take the risk? Eat free chickens that have been reared (not produced) in a model best practice farm where these practices are unheard of and you will be assured of toxin-free poultry products that do not put you at any particular health risk.
Less fat
When reared under model conditions with lower stocking densities such as 1500 chickens per hectare or less, and where the chickens are allowed to roam, forage, feed on pasture and get exposed to the sunshine, the chicken develop more muscle and less fat. Your free range chickens will not shrink when cooked and you only need to add a little fat when cooking them.With the leaner cuts from the chicken muscles, you are able to get a very healthy source of protein in your diet. Additionally, more muscle and less fat in the chicken will also speed up the cooking time allowing you to prepare your healthy meal in a relatively short period of time.
