If they weigh 10 lbs each, then Patrice paid .25 cents per pound for the butchering, but I suspect they weigh more than that. <br /><br />If I understand her method right, a large part of the hen's feed comes from them free-ranging, eating bugs and grasses they come across in the yard, with supplemental feeding during the winter months.<br /><br />I'm not familiar with Purdue brand, but if it isn't organic, it's not a fair comparison.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-2745600980157883512011-06-16T08:48:20.678-07:002011-06-16T08:48:20.678-07:00Anon 7:40, it's a family that lives up Hells G...Anon 7:40, it's a family that lives up Hells Gulch Road.<br /><br />- PatricePatrice Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06012022335047974670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-6603351452133062062011-06-16T07:40:08.880-07:002011-06-16T07:40:08.880-07:00The beauty of this part of the country always amaz...The beauty of this part of the country always amazes me.
