Pasture Fryer Chickens
Summary
Although demand is high, no fresh fryer chickens are presently available for local markets. This project hopes to demonstrate that baby chicks can be grown on two acres of high-protein pasture grasses into high -uality, chemical-free market fryers. It will also identify the marketing opportunities for this product locally and throughout western Colorado.
