Meet our Mt Barker Free-Range “Churkey” — a glorious 3 kg whole chicken that might look like a smaller turkey, but is lovingly raised as the very best of our Fox River chickens. Ethically farmed in the rolling pastures of Western Australia, these birds roam freely, pecking on natural grains and foraging in open fields.
This is the kind of bird you bring out for a Christmas roast — generous, comforting, and perfectly suited for a festive table. Because of its size and flavour — rich, succulent meat under crisp, golden skin, it delivers not just a hearty meal, but a showstopper moment.
Estimated weight of 3-3.5kg. Frozen.
Featured Testimony:
“When it comes to produce, in particular poultry, we have very strict policies and high standards around welfare and sustainability. We choose our chicken on quality, diet and environment. We are impressed by the processes at Mt Barker Chicken and can attest to the quality of their birds.”
- Evan Moore, Head Chef, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, Melbourne
All the leftovers can be used; make curry or sandwiches with the meat and boil the bones with a carrot, onion, and black peppercorns to make your own chicken stock.

Fox River Chicken by Mt Barker Farms is a brand exclusively created for Sasha's Fine Foods. I can only describe their farm in Western Australia as one of the most beautiful, inspirational farms I have ever seen. Their chickens roam free outdoors on farms in Australia’s Great South West pecking on Australian grains as well as an abundance of natural forage and pasture.
