Sunday night, millions more people learned his name after Laverne Cox, an actress and transgender activist, gave him a shout-out while introducing Metallica and Lady Gaga at the Grammys. âEveryone, please Google âGavin Grimm.â Heâs going to the Supreme Court in March. Hashtag stand with Gavin,â Cox told the audience. Cox signed off her introduction by referring to âLadies and gentlemen and all my gender non-binary peeps tonightâ¦â.
As I reported on Tuesday, the top tasting heritage chicken was the Dorking. This bird is known for its fine-textured, very white meat. It is also known to be docile, calm and adaptable. They are good foragers and would make a fine addition to most backyard or farmstead flocks.
Meat Chickens. 1  Healthy feed leads to healthy chickens. Although, the comparatively low protein levels result in slightly slower growth rates compared to conventional flocks, this is compensated by the reduction in leg problems and chick mortality. 2  Raising chickens for meat can be done in a number of ways. On the small scale, homestead flocks of dual-purpose heritage breeds (e.g. Barred Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, Australorps) can provide both meat and eggs. These breeds produce flavourful meat, but compared to special meat breeds, the chickens grow slowly.
