[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1604433, member: 25884"] Some of that has to be attributed to the chickens. The older crosses had more flavor, and the portions were bigger. The birds did not grow as fast, and many places they were ranged so the birds were getting out into the air, eating bugs and grass and such. We talk about flavor of beef on here and that an older cow has more flavor than a younger one.... same goes for chickens. Slower growth, meant older at butcher= more flavor. There are pictures in a book on Highland Co., Va where it shows the turkeys that were ranged on pasture then driven across the mountain to the slaughter houses here in the Shenandoah valley. Up until about 10-15 years ago there were still some range raised turkeys not too far from me in Augusta co., that were sold to the poultry companies. But the thing is, they cannot make the end product as uniform that way.... so they got rid of the range raised and went to all confinement.... a way to control EVERYTHING, including the farmers....and the taste.....
