[MCN] A very good blog post on "the perfect chicken"

[Lance Olsen]

The author doesn't mention heat tolerance, a variable of increasing 
importance, and one that varies from breed to breed of chickens, but 
the blog is rich in other points of information that should be 
getting closer, wider attention.

"I wonder whether the process ordinarily referred to as growing up is 
not actually a process of growing down; whether experience, so much 
touted among adults as the thing children lack in, is not actually a 
progressive dilution of the essentials by the trivialities of living."

Aldo Leopold. A Sand County Almanac. 1949, p.120
