To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular.

  • Raising Range Fed Chickens As a 4H Or FFA Project
    Raising Range Fed Broilers as a 4-H or FFA Project Poultry project members may find raising multi-colored, range fed broilers a rewarding and profitable enterprise. Private sales, local farmers markets and restaurants that feature “organically grown-locally sourced entrées” can provide niche markets for processed meat chickens. Nevertheless, in head-to-head competition in the show ring at county fairs will lean toward the familiar white hybrid (Cornish/Cross) broilers because of economic efficiency and conformation factors Show officials, parents and project members should recognize the genetic and environmental differences between range-fed and white hybrid broiler meat birds. Differences between range fed broilers and hybrid white broilers are comparable to the beef industry where there are considerable differences between beef breeds, dairy breeds and “grass fed” beef steers. The “Chicken of Tomorrow” To understand our poultry industry today, we need to look at the history of the poultry industry. In times gone by, chickens were kept as a side-line to other farming enterprises. The emphasis in chicken production was on egg production. Standard bred and land races of chickens met the need for white or brown colored eggs. Meat was a by-product, provided when the layer’s egg production diminished or by low value young cockerels that were raised with the high value replacement pullets. “Dual purpose” standard-bred American or English breeds had little significance on meat production. Even caponized (castrated) Asiatic breed cockerels were only noteworthy as a specialty meal. Typically, a 16 week old broiler would weigh 2.5-4 pounds. Many county fair premium books still reflect this type of meat bird.
