“Healthy” Daisy beat me

(Insert witty quote here) #13

Cage free

(Zach) #14

In the states, that means there is a small opening that the chickens “could go outside” with, but it is impossible due to the ventilation systems draft. FYI

(Angela Przybylski) #15

Free range (in some cases)

#16

Uggghhhhh…the only air and light most of the factory farm chickens here (east coast, usa) get are if they are on the outside cages when they load the trucks up to take them to the processing plants. Disgusting. Freezing cold and speeding down our backroads. Sad,

“fresh”

(Zach) #18

It is sad. Keeping your own chickens isn’t super hard if you have the space for them, and the eggs are awesome. I do a dozen meat birds a season and keep six layers going. It is more expensive, but pretty easy. I figure I pay $10 usd per chicken for meat, but I know where they come from, and they are happy til the end. Killing and butchering them does take some mental strength, but I feel it is worth it.

“Pasture Raised”, just another marketing scheme.
