Free-Range Chickens

Most chickens on the market are produced by large operations that house their poultry indoors in carefully controlled environments and feed them scientifically monitored diets. This process enables the industry to raise healthy chickens quickly and in large numbers to meet the great demand. Many people feel these chickens lack flavor because they are not allowed to move around outdoors. Some farmers, in response, offer free-range chickens, which are allowed to move around freely and eat outdoors in a more natural environment.
