OUR CHICKEN
100% ECC COMPLIANT IN GERMANY
We take responsibility. For higher animal welfare in chicken farming.
For our chicken, we deliberately go beyond legal farming requirements by providing more space and more time for healthy development. It is our contribution to a more sustainable future and a promise to our guests, because true enjoyment begins with respect – for nature, for animals and for our shared responsibility.
PIONEERS IN CHICKEN WELFARE
As early as 2020, we joined the European Chicken Commitment and committed ourselves to meeting its requirements by 2026. We achieved this goal ahead of schedule: since October 2024, all of the chicken served in our restaurants in Germany and Austria has come exclusively from ECC-compliant suppliers.
MORE SPACE
The stocking density of our chickens never exceeds 30 kg per square metre, which corresponds to approximately 12–15 fully grown chickens per square metre. By comparison, legislation allows up to 39 kg per square metre. This gives the animals significantly more space and allows them to behave more naturally.
SLOWER GROWTH
We deliberately use slower-growing chicken breeds to reduce health problems that are common in fast-growing breeds. While conventional breeds reach maturity after around 25–32 days, our chickens are given approximately 52–68 days to develop as naturally and healthily as possible.
