There are lots of people where I live that sell what they claim to be
free range organic chicken, for $4-$6 a pound. I don't buy any but
lots of people do, I think they suffer some psychosis. My next door
neighbor raises such chickens and sells them. even the local
restaurants buy them. I buy national brand name oven stuffer roasters
at the stupidmarket for like $1/lb, my cats love them, how bad can
they be. I'm not big on eating chicken, I have chicken maybe four
times a year, but still I ain't so feather brained to pay like $5/lb
for bird meat any cat can bring home. Several of my nearby neighbors
raise chickens for meat and eggs, some have fabulous web sites, only
reason I don't post them is I don't need the entire web to know
exactly where I live.
