Here at MOTHER EARTH NEWS, we have chickens on the brain. First, we’re hatching dozens of eggs and there’s also our feature,  Raising Chickens for Meat, a fantastic how-to article on broiler chickens by SARE communications specialist Gwen Roland. In it, Roland discusses the benefits of raising your own table birds: lower price, better flavor and the satisfaction of avoiding factory-farmed meat.
