Our Chickens
Free-range birds for real kitchens.
ODM raises free-range chickens for flavour, welfare, and honest meat — supplied as whole birds, cuts, and planned volumes for trade partners.
Product range
What you can order.
Availability and pack sizes can be tailored for household, butchery, or food-service orders. Ask us for the current weekly schedule.
Whole free-range chicken
Family and food-service sizes. Ideal for roasting, braai, and menu specials where the full bird tells the free-range story.
Breast, thigh & drumstick packs
Portion cuts for butcher counters and restaurant prep — consistent sizing to support portion control and plating.
Wings & braai packs
Ready for weekend demand and hospitality specials, with the same free-range standards as our whole birds.
Offal & specialised lines
Livers and selected lines available by arrangement — useful for traditional kitchens and chef menus.
Our breed
Meet the Black Australorp.
ODM raises the Black Australorp — an Australian dual-purpose breed known for its glossy beetle-green-black plumage, calm nature, and standout free-range performance. It is one of the world's great brown-egg layers and grows into honest, full-flavoured table birds.
Dual-purpose bird
Bred for both quality meat and eggs, so every Australorp earns its place on a free-range farm.
Prolific brown-egg layer
Australorps are famous layers — hens can produce well over 250 brown eggs a year in good conditions.
Calm and hardy
A docile, adaptable breed that handles South African conditions and outdoor life with ease.
Natural foragers
Active on the range, they thrive on outdoor access — exactly the system ODM is built around.
The bird
Free-range commercial birds — managed without chemical shortcuts.
ODM focuses on free-range meat chickens given outdoor access and raised without routine antibiotics or growth promoters. The result is chicken that cooks clean, tastes of careful farming, and supports a premium free-range position in your shop or menu.
We are not selling brine-heavy commodity poultry. We are selling birds whose value comes from how they lived — space, feed quality, and responsible health management.
