Free Range chicken

I've been brave tonight and, after watching the river cottage treatment, I thought I would give these a go. Except Tescos seemed to have a zillion choices. Bog standard chicken - small and large, free range chicken - from this farm from that, finest quality, corn fed, with trees to cluck under, with a large grassy field, with a barn to hide in. :eek:
I chose the cheapest in the end, but they all varied in price by about a pound.
What do you look for in your feathered friends?
:wall:

    I got a free range corn fed chicken from Morrisons - £1.99/kg - £3.03 for a 1.5kg bird - iI'm going to have to work pretty hard to make a stretch to a couple of meals for 4, but not too bad.
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.
  • I bought a Willow Farm FR chicken in Tesco last week and it was the nicest chicken I have tasted for ages - DD1 even commented on how nice it was, which is quite something! I bought an Asda FR chicken a couple of days ago and it wasn't nearly as nice, but was actually more expensive. I also bought some Willow farm eggs and Willow Farm Breast fillets. I froze the fillets but had them tonight and they were lovely too.
