why does "free range" chicken cost more than chicken in a cage?
I would think the cage costs money and thus the free ones would be cheaper.
Any help would be appreciated.
Oh...and i LOVE this new forum! Can't wait to meet more like-minded people!

To push the issue even more, is said chicken just free range or is it free range organic? Is it hormone free?

Nothing wrong with goat.

Young goat finished on corn. Old grass fed billygoat is as nasty as grass fed cattle.

They have to account for the time spent chasing the chickens to catch them for slaughter.
Them that don't know him won't like him, and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him

All chicken is hormone free.

I just did a google search. Very interesting. I never knew that.

Because hipsters and various other democrat types will pay more for it.

Most folks don't.
I used to be the night manager of a commercial chicken feed mill. One of my maintenance guys told me one night that all the hormones in chicken feed caused people to be fat (he was a solid 375 and a few years later suffered a fatal heart attack).
I pointed out that he actually worked in a feed mill, knew every ingredient in every formula, and there were no bags marked "hormones" in the warehouse. He quickly changed the subject.
The point is, that dude worked around it every day and still believed that there were hormones in chicken because that's what the innerwebz told him to believe.

Why would one give chickens hormones? Did Foghorn Leghorn want to change his name to Caitlyn

How the hell does a farmer get chickens to go from being a juvenile to a full grown adult in a month? Something ain't right there.

Delta in a nutshell: Breeding grounds + small wetlands + big blocks of grass cover + predator removal + nesting structures + enough money to do the job= plenty of ducks to keep everyone smiling!

Well, it's a month to you.... but in chicken years.
All you need is a body built for discipline and a mind that can justify so much apparent self-abuse.

That's not food for thought. That's the type of article that scares uneducated and ignorant folks into paying up for organic food so they can feel all smug and shit. Because healthy.

From 0-8lbs in 8 weeks isn't exactly rocket science. High fat high protein feed, whenever they want it, water, and ideal temperatures. But carry on with your misinformative bullshit willy worm.

They're not a full grown adult. They're still an 8 week old chicken.
The same person that can look at a chihuahua and a Great Dane and know that they're the same species can't get their mind around a selectively bred chicken being bigger than their neighbor's yard birds.
