M&S has more RSPCA Assured products than any other national retailer, for example, slower-reared, Oakham Gold chicken. The higher-welfare birds are fed a multigrain diet and have more space to roam. 

Slower rearing is a more natural approach to chicken farming, meaning the birds have a better quality of life, can be more active, and can better express their natural behaviours. 

The chickens have straw bales to perch on, room to spread their wings and even toys to play with. Watch the Oakham Gold Chicken Farm to Foodhall film to find out more.
