What is a Stew Hen?
A stew hen is an older laying hen that has finished her egg-laying years. Unlike young broilers, these birds have lived longer, more active lives on pasture.

Why Choose a Stew Hen?
Because age and activity build flavor. Their meat is tougher but deeply flavorful- perfect for slow cooking. When simmered for hours, stew hens create nutrient-rich broth and tender meat that forms the base of truly traditional, hearty soups and stews.
