You're right, Rita, the home raised chickens are so much different then the ones you buy in the store. A much richer flavor, and all those omega 3's from eating what nature can provide. Although I live in a more rural area, one of our local stores provides locally grown foods, like free range chicken, and eggs for those who prefer them, and can't raise them. I remember when my mother would buy a hundred roosters for meat. What an ordeal that was when it was time to butcher.
