I built one right before covid and now its looking like I’m going to be using it for a long time.

I raise Rhode Island Reds right now, part time with a foolish hope to full time farm someday. If you can find Bresse chicken it’s supposed to be the Wagyu of the chicken world.

Yep. To make things worse, Its actually unhealthy for that breed to live past market weight. They’ll get so heavy they can’t walk anymore and will also devolp all sorts of health problems even if they’re free ranged. A sad state of being.

My heritage breeds grow slower and have less butcher weight than industrial farm raised chickens. The longer it takes to reach market weight the more feed I have to buy, so yeah, they’re easily twice as expensive per pound. Its insane how cheap they’re able to sell chicken. It gives people sticker shock when they see my price per pound. :(
