Okay, so I want to get some whole chickens to boil up for broth. DH doesn't like chicken but likes chicken broth and I cook with chicken broth a lot, so I was planning on canning it. (I just pressure canned 11 pints of beef stock yesterday!)
Safeway and Smart&Final both have sales this week on whole chickens, at $1.29 and $.79 per pound, respectively. Does anyone know if Foster Farms or S&F First Street chickens are raised decently (not abused, not pumped full of hormones and antibiotics, etc)?
Yeah - I know I could buy organic free-range chicken at Whole Foods or somewhere at some outrageous price but I'm looking for something a little more budget-friendly, if possible.
