Red Bird Farms is located in which state and how are the chickens raised?

• A. Texas; Free-range
• B. Cage-free, no antibiotics or hormones
• C. Colorado; Cage-free, no antibiotics or hormones
• D. Florida; Hormone-fed

Answer: (C)

The question tests understanding of where a farm sources its product and how the animals are raised, which are key details often required for recertification. The chosen answer specifies both the exact location and a production method that align with common certification criteria: Colorado as the farm’s location, and cage-free, no antibiotics or hormones as the raising and treatment practices. Cage-free means the chickens aren’t kept in cages and typically have more space to move around, which many certifications value for animal welfare. The phrase no antibiotics or hormones indicates a production approach that avoids these substances, aligning with certifications that emphasize minimal chemical inputs and hormone-free poultry. The other options don’t match both the location and the described production practices, such as a different state, a different raising method, or including hormone-fed.
