What is Amish chicken?
The meaning of Amish chicken lies in the way the chickens are treated. Amish chickens are free-range. The chicken coops where the chickens live are operated by the Amish, thus the name Amish chicken. Amish chicken is said to be healthier for consumption, as the chickens are not given harmful hormones or raised in an uncomfortable environment.
