That's probably because most homegrown birds are given more room to wander. Store bought birds are packed in so tightly they are practically the veal of the bird world. They don't have a chance to make muscles which would make a bird tougher.Tho no homegrown bird I've eaten, layer or meat breed, is as soft as a grocery bird, they are more 'toothsome'.
Actually it has more to do with age and genetics.That's probably because most homegrown birds are given more room to wander. Store bought birds are packed in so tightly they are practically the veal of the bird world. They don't have a chance to make muscles which would make a bird tougher.

'Meat' birds, home or grocery, are hybridized to grow huge fast.....
