Commercial chickens are bred to eat a lot and grow faster. That was the whole point in breeding them that way, to get them from egg to market as fast as possible. Heritage chickens don't taste better because they are fed differently or under less stress, they taste better because they tend to be much older before going to the table since they grow slower.

04:42 I can't wait to finish this episode, anything involving Permaculture values being given attention by MIKE FREAKING ROWE is going to be amazing!! I just had to come point out something very special about these chickens. They're bored. Sean and Sasha at Edible Acres in NY have the MOST amazing chicken system and these chickens here would benefit GREATLY from it! Rather than put the food scraps in neat, segregated tidy boxes, pile it all up on the ground with each other all intermingled. Chickens LOVE to work piles of scraps and get in some natural chicken scratching, it's how they're geared. I understand this farm, as a producer to other health regulated customers, can't let the chickens eat on composting scraps that provide their dose of meat intake in things like worms and insects that gather to the scraps (it's unfortunate for the chickens but understandable), but at least give them some mental enrichment by letting them pull a pile apart. They're bored. More bored than unsettled by the cameras. Ok back to the video, let's make the world a FOOD FOREST with the help of chickens! (Watch the video What Is A Food Forest? by Geoff Lawton and the Permaculture Institute if this got you curious!)

@@nobodyspecial4702It’s true that age and the animal using its muscles has a great deal to do with flavor (slow-cooked layer hens have great flavor), but what the birds eat affects the flavor. I would’ve liked to see where most of their calories come from-the contents of the two hoppers at the end of the growing house.

Thank you all. In this day and age it’s wonderful seeing good people, doing good things, and respecting each other. Mike and his crew always meet the good, regular people that most of us are and appreciate. Once again thank you.

Anyone who raises chickens know those chickens had already eaten. Too funny😅

That is hilarious! My chickens come running as soon as I open the back door because it usually means "treat" time of whatever leftover food I toss to them.

After this episode originally played, we decided to order D'Artagnan chickens🐔 🐔 Free-range, no antibiotics, and no hormones. They were delivered in short order. Simply Delicious! I later looked up this charming lady and came across a video where she's being interviewed in a French speaking channel. The interviewer commented how Americans know little about nutritious food😮 What a snob! Anywho, it may be Mike is taking a hiatus? If so, well deserved! 🎉

Sad that’s our government and fda. All about the money and not about our health. They lie to us daily and allow poison into our food.

So that must be why the coq au vin I had one evening at Chez Yvonne Restaurant in Strasbourg was the best I've ever tasted. Of course, the bottle of wine we had with dinner was also superb.

Thank you for this video.......now I understand why Farmer Tyler raised his own chickens. You would love farmer Tyler, Mike. He and his family are salt of the earth. Please take the time to watch one of his videos. I wish everyone, everywhere had the opportunity and ability to live as he and his family does in northern California. You two guys along with "Nate the Hoof Guy" are my favorite people on KZitem. I followed you when you had the TV show......I knew you would be back. Thank you for being in my home!

absolutely wonderful. an amazing, honest family. Ariane is fantastic. the ending at the restaurant was funny, but watching the crew get fed, and seeing Joel's wife with the little one -- OH AND THEN MIKE DOES THE DISHES sorry spoiler alert. those normally go beforehand, but, ya know what -- here we are. loved it.

Wow. This episode was amazing. Reminded me of the better side of people. Many of the things my family used to be when I was a kid. Before the world went crazy. When we used to just spend time together in our "spare time" instead of filling up every second of the day. Dinner was often an even, and the smells permeated the house for hours, so when you sat down, you had been taunted by your senses as a result of mom or grandma's cooking. We need to do better again.

I was driving to visit my Grandparents,Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. I can still remember when I pulled off on the side of the road. Then watched with amazement as these Mennonite’s plowing their fields with these Two Huge Case Steam Tractors for well over an hour.

How did I not know you was in PA... I could have driven like an hour and got an autograph and a handshake. 😁 Edit: So a regular chicken would be about $10 for 9 lbs but hers would be $56 for a 9 lb chicken.... I could see KZitem cooks loving this chicken for BBQ or something. LoL

You also can’t get these to grow to 9lbs dressed. Biggest I’ve seen is 7lbs dressed. Maybe 8 if you way overfeed them.

I used to have around 40 actual free range chickens that had 3 acres to traverse. We never had ticks or fleas on our pets and I even saw them trying to catch wasps. Lol. We didn't eat them though as we loved their eggs that had orange yolks :)

The chickens were not used to eating veggies. or used to being outside. The broiler chickens will not eat it if it is something new. Chickens don't like change. I appreciate the video Mike! Keep up the important work.

Mike - I really do appreciate what you do, stand for and exercise; bringing realism to the masses, if only a small glimpse, in such a "positive" manner (with a touch of humor). So many don't have a clue as to the operations "of life", the basics nor the differences in "value"/quality! Anything that is truly farm raised whether it be livestock or vegetables have a much different flavor and health benefit. Love ya brother! Keep fightin' the good fight. Be Safe
