Customer Reviews

Red RangerI have raised this breed for both personal use and commercially for several years now ( ordered from Mt. H and others ) and find them far superior to Cornish-Rock Cross. Unlike the later, Rangers actually do range. Instead of sitting in front of the grain trough all day, they scratch the ground for bugs and other treasures just like a real chicken. However, since Red Rangers are more active , their meat has more structure. Although not everyone would agree, firmer meat is a big plus. The meat of Cornish Cross birds is flimsy and so will not withstand braising or slow cooking the way a RR does. True, their meat is tender, but can only be roasted or fried or the meat turns into sawdust.. As for taste, nothing compares to the Ranger. It is rich, "chicken-y" and makes other chicken meat seem bland in comparison. If you raise your chickens exclusively indoors and highly confined, however, Red Rangers are not your bird. I have never tried it, but I doubt, they would do well under confinement. On top of their other virtues, Rangers are beautiful. Their color and markings can vary from bird to bird. Some have the golden color of a Buff Orpington while others are deep red with black tails and others are in-between. I still raise a few CR-C mostly for Cornish Game Hens, but my main eating bird is the Ranger. We are no longer raising chickens for market, but when we did we convinced some of our regular customers (mostly the restaurants) to pay the premium to get a real "free range" chicken and they were glad they did.
