Slow broilers?

[walkswithdog]

What birds comprise this group? What hatcheries sell good ones? Is there a group of breeds that fall into this category? I'm not super fond of anything I can't at least partially free range. Thanks. Saw it said on a thread and I've gotten curious.

There are basically freedom rangers (JM poultry) then a host of others labeled as "red broilers", "black broilers", "slow broilers" etc. sold by many hatcheries.

I just got my first ones, so other than saying they are cute, I couldn't tell you how good they are as meat birds yet.

Thanks Andrea, I'll read and learn

I thought the Rangers were the ones mentioned on the thread I read but I wanted to make sure. I think I want to run a bunch in. I've got time to set them up proper before we leave in Dec.
