The chickens we've had have been delicious and chickeny, and the beef we've had has been tough and stringy. The eggs are simply orgasmic. <BR/><BR/>Maybe for the chickens, try a tenderizing cooking method? Braising, slowcooker, something that will break down the fibers a bit?Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529595734767616715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15420390.post-43854554398156565812008-10-31T15:10:00.001-05:002008-10-31T15:10:00.001-05:00p.s. sorry I didn't text you back yesterday!

They are juicy and tender.<BR/><BR/>It's not the diet of the chickens that is causing you the problem, I bet -- it's that you're used to chickens who do not use their muscles. The bottomless pen option means that the chickens get fresh air and sunshine and some exercise, but not a LOT of exercise. Couch potato chickens instead of shut-ins (CAFOs).<BR/><BR/>Don't know how you feel about that, but personally I'm OK with it.Laura Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933143755015828109noreply@blogger.com
