    I am of the opinion that the slower growing birds have much more flavour, the quick growing tend to be flavourless but of course this depends on the feed. I can remember when we would have chicken for xmas dinner as it was very expensive and not the cheap meat you get today.

    After watching your video a couple years back on the bresse chicken. I got into bresse chickens as pets. I have found them to be actually pretty good egg layers I don't get tons of eggs. But they're a very social bird and they live a pretty long life. I have one that is about 4 years old now. And we got the splash and the white birds so thanks for sharing.

    Nice to see that things are working out for you Simeon and your family, I used to watch your videos when you were in Sweden on your family home stead, when you had trouble with your cattle escaping through the fence, then I got very busy at home and with work so didn’t watch a lot of UA-cam for a while, then I found that you had moved to Austria , and now you have moved again, Good luck with your new place, looks really lovely, 👍🇬🇧👍.

    Finally some love for heritage birds! Thank you! It's absolutely shortsighted to not appreciate their value. The hybrid chicken industry is not sustainable & will eventually collapse. Maybe not completely but in part it will. You can't play God forever without some fallout from it.

    Great topic Simeon!
    For me it's 100% heritage breeds with lots of space, slots, bugs, dust, grass and bushes! Happy chickens.
    Here in France I've some Marans wich I like very much, especially for their big, dark brown eggs. I have some Sussex too, but they eat ALL THE TIME! :-)
    And a very old local breed wich is great for both, eggs and flesh.
    I would have seen more of the setup you were using for the butchering, it seemed very interesting! But yes, I know... YT, the rules, and some too sensible souls...
    Glad you're back!

    You are correct in the fact that like the GMO seeds you are tied forever to the supplier instead of raising your own grains for seeds and breeding chickens for harvest. A mixture for meat, eggs, and a few broody hens for raising the next generation are better for not just home farms but switching out the broody hens for incubators and you become self-sufficient keeping in mind that saving the best genetics for continuing the line. Ya'll really do look so much happier and gosh the children have grown so much since watching them help raise Lucky.

    You guys are amazing! I’m a Minnesotan that is hoping to get some chicks and build a good pen. It’s difficult to afford these things as a teenager. I look up to your guy’s lifestyle and would do anything to be a part of such a movement. I’ve also been researching chicken breeds and I may be interested in getting Bresse chicks. We have a big family and I’m hoping we can lay our own eggs for all the healthy benefits. Not to mention the implications of food autonomy, impact on the environment, etc. Thank you guys for all the work you’ve done.

    Totally agree with you Simion we have done a few years of Hubbard's or Ross & feel we are just eating tones of chicken feed & that is not what we want to do its intensive farming out side , we prefer the taste & welfare of heritage breeds who actually find much more feed for themselves & we just add fermented corn they can take twice as long but that's fine ..healthy nutrient dense food . We have crossbred light Sussex & Swedish flower & bantoms & just keep crossing for a medium size dual purpose bird that can forage well 👍👍😀

    I did one batch of cornish cross this year, because they were on clearance, and I had never tried them. They were ok....messy as they get older, but a lot of meat fast. I prefer my heritage breeds though. I'm working on adding in larger breeds to a specific flock, in hopes of increasing my size at butcher. I currently have black jersey giants. I want to get away from them though, because of looks after butcher, similar to a black turkey...the skin doesn't look as nice as a lighter color bird.

      It’s amazing! I wondered where you had disappeared too, after your experience with highland cattle which was very interesting coming from Scotland.
      Now you have moved and are raising chickens of different breeds it is very hard to find good tasting birds you have the formula it would seem, look forward to more videos and insights on your experiences.

    I'm sorry I can't watch butchering. On both sides of my family my grandparents were self sufficient. At most meals I heard conversations about breeds and feed and growth I also helped butcher. I'm 70 and am watching because I'm so pleased to know there are people out there that think like you. But, no stomach left for killing and butchering.
