The song is called "Fresh Chicken Bluegrass," and it was written especially for our commercial. We only hear part of it, but you can listen to the whole song and lyrics in our Behind the Scenes section. I did sing along to a few verses when we were filming, but somehow that didn't make it into the commercial!

Funny you should ask that. I answered that exact same question in a TV commercial. My chickens only eat an all-natural diet of soybeans, marigolds and corn. And no donuts! (Gladys, is that you?)

Some of that was me, and some of it was a stunt-double. While I was a hurdeler in high school, the strength and agility it took to do some of those olympic-style moves was better left to professional stunt people. I did get to jump over a few cubicle walls, but as for the rest, it made my marketing department as well as my shoulder a bit too nervous. (Not to mention my wife Jan, who was on the set!)

I've never given my chickens or turkeys hormones or steroids. Ever. This includes in feed, processing or anything else. The use of hormones has been illegal in poultry production since 1952. In fact, since my grandfather started Perdue in 1920, Perdue has never used hormones or steroids. We often state this in our television commercials: "No added hormones or steroids."

All PERDUE® products are 100% free of antibiotics. This is assured not only by our strict control over every aspect of production, down to weekly audits of our family farmers and manufacturing our own feed, but by FDA and USDA requirements and tests. So, not only do we regulate it carefully, so does the federal government.
