Find the free range egg layers and you can usually buy the chicken quite cheaply after it stops laying eggs. A guy i work with has free range chickens on his land and he sells me chickens for a buck each. Yeah, thats right, $1.00 for a free range, organic chicken. I just have to kill it myself. Have you ever tasted fresh organic chicken?TimPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212304737239970951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678110776971328872.post-79423270232362898352008-01-17T17:02:00.000-05:002008-01-17T17:02:00.000-05:00This is fascinating.

That is just stating the obvious. Although the Agriculture Department has approved the use of growth hormones in beef, it has not sanctioned their use in veal, pork or poultry. But drugs, as opposed to hormones, are another matter. Bacitracin, an antibiotic that is also a growth drug, is part of the feed of many young chickens, including those of Perdue and Bell & Evans.
