Five Live with Farmer Franchesca Duval of Alchemist Farm
Episode description
Farmer Franchesca Duval of Alchemist Farm in Northern California is pioneering humane practices for poultry hatcheries. She is working with her community to make sure the rooster chicks are going to good use for food. She thinks about the whole ecological and humane spectrum of raising birds.
Alchemist Farm raises 13 different breeds of chickens that are bred for temperament and egg color. You can order chicks from farmer Franchesca Duval to give you the most beautiful egg rainbow.
This episode puts to the test my mantra "Ask a Farmer, not Google!" and puts Google to shame. Find the answers to all your chicken and egg questions here. Except which came first... we are going to leave that one a mystery!
