What’s a Slower-Growing Chicken? | Eater

"A 50‑acre pasture‑based farm in Fairfield, California that produces about 2,000–3,000 birds per week using solar‑powered, fully automated mobile housing that moves across fields so birds forage and so litter can be composted back into pastures. The operation shifted from selling slow‑maturing heritage birds to a smaller Ross Cornish hybrid that matures in roughly 42–56 days and weighs about 3.5 lb, aiming to balance animal activity, flavor, and economic viability. The farm practices pasture rotation, diverse forage mixes, cover crops, and other regenerative practices and seeks to create a replicable model for larger pasture‑raised production." - Gosia Wozniacka
