      That’s good. The fucking broilers these days eat eachother because they need the energy. And it’s not from hormones like that guy below says. It’s from selective breeding. But they do grow fucking fast and it’s not the ones we eat that we need to worry about primarily, it’s their mothers that we need to keep alive through that bullshit. Using smaller, slower growing chickens is more responsible.

        Heritage breeds are the way to go if you can find them. Taste better and typically more humanely raised.

          Heritage breeds are not that hard to find, at least in my country.

          We even have a heritage book and recognized breeders get special perks.

        I’ll be honest, I’ve never heard of a drumlet before I posted this thread.

        But our KFC order was literally a 12 piece legs and thighs. So why we get this jank shit?
