Episode 103 - Run the Roast   addthis
Instead of being cooped up in a cage like many chickens are, some lucky birds have the run of the roost at Country Hen Farms in Hubbardston, Massachusetts.  According to Country Hen’s general manager , Bob Beauregard “they can move around in their own litter and they build immunity that way, so they’re  much healthier. Their feathers all stay in. They look good. They’re beautiful birds.”
