I've had layers for years now and because we love eating chicken and we keep pigs for eating, it makes sense that we should get some table birds as well.
However, the pleasure for me is keeping my animals in as natural and happy environment as possible but, having eaten unwanted free-roaming cockerels in the past that were excessively gamey, sinewy, meatless and revolting, I'm worried that my gut feeling is that chickens have to have restricted roaming to taste good and that's really not my thing.
Can anyone with better knowledge than I have tell me the truth, rather than me relying on my instinct?
