First Time Raising Freedom Ranger Chickens (Joel Salatin Inspired)

This was my first time raising freedom ranger chickens. I have been reading and learning a lot about Joel Salatin's way of raising pastured poultry. I loved the idea and decided to try it out. I received 50 non-GMO chicks in the mail June 23rd. I harvested my chickens on week 9, 10, and 11 to see the weight difference. In the end, it all went well, and I made this video to show my experience. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Chris!

[@badgeriacone440]

Pretty sure I’m eating one of them right now

[@codykingsworld]

How was it?

[@KCARanchHomestead]

Cody, what feed did you use? Same food the whole time? What was the protein content if you know it? Thanks.

[@codykingsworld]

Farmers blend livestock feeds non GMO soy
free chicken grower. It's located in clear springs Maryland. I think it's 19 percent protein. Here is the link for more info. www.ernstgrainandlivestock.com/farmer-s-blend-soy-free-chicken-grower

Hey, what kind of chicken plucker did you use?

[@codykingsworld]

[@scottgregory4837]

How do you get them back in the coop?

[@kkcjackson]

They follow food
😊

[@boykintreeservice]

Where did you order your chicks?

[@codykingsworld]

Freedomrangerhatchery.com link is also in description.

Good job Cody. You probably could've had greater weights if they didn't have the freedom you allowed them. But then they'd have been more labor intensive. They lived well before hitting the frying pan. 👍👍 did they have good breast size ?

[@codykingsworld]

Yeah they were a good size. I raised the Cornish cross this year and they were huge. One was 7lbs after 8 weeks. But after raising both I liked the Cornish cross. But I'm going to try the freedom rangers again next year and not let them run around as much. I read that it makes the meat tough and they are pretty tough unless you slow cook them.
