Allowing a chicken to "freerange" not only is beneficial to the chicken but also keeps
your yards semi-free of unwanted insects.
The chicken gets nature's vitamins and minerals from blades of grass. It gets it's
protein from the insects it eats.

I raised "Buff O's" for several years. Not only were their brown eggs very high in nutrients
but their meat was "flawless". And NO ricket bones.
In time I switched over to breeding ducks. Being that duck meat is not a readily found
commodity in the markets, I decided to go that route for a short while. Before I knew
it, I had clients that were buying not only the fertile duck eggs (for hatching) but also the
non fertile for cooking purposes.
There's a huge market out there for duck meat. Particularlly amongst the oriental peoples.

Kentucky Colnel Chicken is famous for being pumped with water prior to freezing before
shipping to the various fast food places and then be cooked.

Now I just sit back and enjoy life and watch the cows and calves graze. lol...

Peggy, I'm from the Seminole area. Nice to meet ya gal.
