It may be "a bit strong" but the fact is that there is no regulation so they can do and tell you whatever they think you want to hear. [b'>How much are their whole chickens? [/b'> That will tell you exactly how chemical-free they are. ;) If you do the farm tour, I'd be interested to hear your feedback. Bumpity bump. :D Does anyone know how much a whole chicken from this farm costs? 17 Dhs in Carrefour for 1 Kg. chicken yesterday..

Greenish - I actually will do the farm visit of Al Rawdah (Live in Falcon City so very close to the farm) - Than at least I will have more peace in mind - I will let you know how it went :)

by the way..anyone seen the ridiculous price for the UK chickens in Spinneys???? and they are not even halal...and they keep them on the shelves for 8 + days:\: but they are not in the pork section - how can they be on the regular shelves? Muncipality law is 3 days ....unless it has been frozen and defrosted..

You should try to give these guys a call, Its seems to be a "Modern" management - The production manager i spoke to was Austrian.. They even invited me out to their farm (might take them up on that). At least they seem trust worthy to me so I take the risk :) Just think that it is a bit strong to say that all local produced chicken are filled with hormones without actually knowing anything about it.... And again the Spinneys chicken are not local nor fresh...

Would rather eat a Halal slaughtered chicken than one that has been gassed as they do many places in Europe..

Completely agree with Beebers, Halal should be more humane... For nobody-in particulat ... Spinneys "fresh chicken" is either deforsted Brazilian chicken OR from Oman :) <em>edited by jeanettesamer on 29/03/2012</em>

I could not agree more, but not everyone can afford organic chicken all the time, and there is also the aspect of the environment local Vs. imported.. I actually called up the company again as I did not ask about antibiotics before and I talked to a production manager who told me that NO antibiotics are used, and the Rawdah chicken are 100% grain fed. Anyway, all for organic, but still think supporting local production is important especially when they actually have a good product.

I used to do the exact same thing, but find the organic a bit expensive for everyday use. But Not wanting to serve my family any dodgy chicken I actually called this Al Rawdah to ask them if they would guarentee no growth enhancers etc. And they told me that only natural feed is used for their chicken, that is also why when you seen them in fx Carrefour thy are not that big in size - no growth hormones.

Just want to share my good expeience with the local fresh chicken brand Al Rawdah. Unlike so many other chicken here in dubai that has been transported froozen half way acoss the world from countries like Brazil, then defosted and sold as fresh, this is actually real fresh chicken and it tastes great. The farm is just by Outlet Mall and they claim only 8 hours from farm to store.....

Please tell which brand of chicken it was. I don't dare to buy any at all at the moment because the story is just soooo gross. Was it the housebrand at Sp*****? I am running out of ideas as I stopped buying their beef months ago. Go for the local brand Al Rawdah, it is really fresh and the chicken are raised on pure natural feed, no hormones or anything.
