Whole poussin — a young chicken, smaller and more tender than a standard bird, ideal for quick roasting or grilling.

Discover The Black Farmer Whole Poussin, a young chicken prized for its tender texture and naturally sweet, mild flavour. Also known as a coquelet, this small bird is perfect for elegant single servings or intimate meals. Lean and protein-rich, it cooks quickly and absorbs marinades beautifully — ideal for Mediterranean, Asian, or classic British dishes. Whether roasted whole, butterflied, or grilled, Poussin delivers a light yet luxurious eating experience, making it a restaurant-style favourite you can enjoy at home.

  • Naturally tender, juicy meat
  • Lean, protein-rich alternative to larger birds
  • Cooks quickly for midweek or special meals
