Game Birds

Game Birds groups together poussin and quail — small whole birds sold as individual portions — alongside two further named whole-bird products listed here rather than in the standard Whole Chicken group. It is the most varied of the chicken groups, covering several distinct bird types rather than one bird prepared different ways. Each is ordered and listed on its own, so a kitchen wanting only quail, for example, is not required to take poussin or the other formats alongside it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Poussin and Quail?

Both Poussin and Quails are small whole birds sold as individual portions; quail is the smaller of the two.

Why is Boiler Chicken listed separately from Whole Chicken?

Boiler Chicken is a different bird format to the standard whole chicken grades in Whole Chicken, and is generally used for slow cooking and stock rather than straightforward roasting.
