PASTURED BROILERS - We had determined that clean, healthy chicken would be fairly easy to add to our farm, and would additionally benefit our future pastures with fertilizer. We were right! We raised two batches last summer, and all were sold before they were ready to be processed. We also experimented with our second batch, and raised several heritage broilers. This variety is hardier, slower growing and so much better tasting than the usual cornish cross broilers, they will be the predominate birds we raise in future. They do not have the huge breasts of store bought chicken, but are more flavorful with juicy meat.
Here is a great article to read about the difference in pastured meat! New York Post article, April 26, 2015 "Why nothing, especially chicken, tastes like it used to."

Grocery Store Alternative......which would you eat?
This is commercial broiler chicken production. Stocked so densely there's barely room for an individual to stretch.
Granted these birds are bred to be so heavily muscled, and thereby meaty, they can hardly move once large enough for slaughter. There are employees whose job it is to slowly walk down each isle with buckets and pick up the deceased birds. Due to over-crowding and resulting stress, health issues are frequent. This has contributed to the proliferation of such bacteria as salmonila in the very animals you eat from such farms.
