Yes, I'd say it's blander - "industrial" farming and all that...

It is very sad, but the market has its logic, and if that is what the consumer
wants, that is what the consumer gets. =(

When I was a kid on the farm, we had a hen house, and that supplied our
chicken and eggs... most all farm folks had raised chickens...

Sad that Cackles escaped! I never thought she would make it as far as she did!

We moved off of the farm in 1960, and bought chicken from the store or
sometimes others who still raised chickens...

By about 1963 or so, almost nobody in our rural araa even on farms

store...

Raising chickens is a messy and expensive and dirty PAIN in the

A relative had a chicken farm once, and those cute little things certainly do
not smell nice. =/
