Has anyone tried to raise those white Cornish Cross (from a certain age forward) strictly on free range? I have 1 acre green pasture, from October to June, got more than 100 fruit trees all fenced (no major predators in the area), raised hundreds of chicken with no problems.
Purpose was to raise some males old enough to breed with heritage without dying of heart failure and not being too heavy to do the job... so would a diet made of foraged greens and bugs keep their weight low enough to not die and being able to do what roosters do with the ladies?
