Chickens on the Farm!

Posted on September 13th, 2021 by Noah Sanders

We will be making a delivery this week this Thursday, Septemtember 16th. You will have until tomorrow night at midnight to edit your order, purchase extra items, or skip your order.

This week we are supposed to receive our fall order of baby chickens! They arrive as 2 day old chicks and we will brood them in a warm dry place on the farm until they are 3 weeks old. Then around that time we will move them outside to their pasture shelters. This enables them to get plenty of sunshine, grass, and bugs in addition to the non-gmo feed we provide. Each day we will move them to fresh grass which breaks the life cycle of any parasites and fertilizes the pasture! When they are several months old we will humanely harvest them, freeze some whole and cut up the rest. Happy chickens make for healthy food!
