This is General Tao. He was a friendly rooster in the summer of 2021. He would follow me around looking for treats and chatter away to me. He would hop up into my lap. I had a couple other meaties who really followed me as well, looking for chest rubs and petting. All the chickens we raised we taught early on to bond with us, come when called, we taught them how to free range forage at three weeks old. They received fermented organic feed in addition to all the grasses and bugs they found while wandering during the day. Their fermented feed contained a special organic spice mix that our research has shown helps improve gut health and body health. They had a happy, healthy life. We named them all after delicious chicken dishes because we wanted to remember at all times that they are being grown to help feed us with organically raised healthy animals. They lived a super happy life to the last moment.
