Mommy, where does hackle come from?

From Egg to Sale

Hackle chicks busting out of eggs
This post is a long time in the making. From the first time we visited Whiting Farms, we both have been in awe about how much time, effort and brainpower goes into getting us the hackle we know and love. So on our last trip out, we took the time to go through the entire process of getting hackle from conception to shipping.

Hopefully, this is a good explanation or at least a glimpse into the magic that is chicken genius, Dr. Tom Whiting and his marvelous Whiting Farms.
