Heritage breeds are raised by some pp-growers 

The breed and the growing method influence
texture and flavor (see Label Rouge) 

Free-range inside electric fencing attached 
to movable pens is common

Planting forages for poultry is an option to
increase intake

Growing grains is same region is regional economy 
and builds infrastructure for livestock and row
crop farmers; new generation cooperatives 

Whether pasture-style or CAFO-style, there's plenty 
of litter mgmt systems and microbial/probiotic/
energetic tools for enhancing bird health 

Blog on....  but there's more to see
