Kampung chicken is a type of local chicken that is often found in rural Indonesia. This chicken is known for its slender body, diverse feather colors, and behavior that tends to be freer than commercial breeds of chicken.
Free-range chickens have a stronger immune system against disease and extreme weather, thanks to their natural adaptation to their surrounding environment. They are generally trapped in a free-range system, foraging around the yard or fields, thus producing higher quality eggs and meat.
Free-range chicken meat has a chewier texture and a more savory taste compared to broiler chickens. This is due to their natural diet, which consists of seeds, insects, and leaves.
Apart from that, free-range chickens are also slower in their growth process, but produce meat with a higher nutritional content, especially protein and healthy fats. Free-range chicken eggs are also known for their better quality, with a lighter yolk color and richer taste.
Apart from being a source of food, free-range chickens also have economic value for local farmers because of their relatively low maintenance costs, as well as high market demand for natural and organic products.
