What a Difference Three Weeks Makes!

The chicks are growing!  If you remember from last post, this is what the chicks looked like a one day old.  Little yellow puffballs.
Picture
At three weeks old, they are getting their “big bird” feathers.  They are still in a transition phase though similar to those awkward early high school teenage years.  If you look closely, they have their adult feathers on their wings and body, but their heads still have that yellow chick fuzz.  At least they are all in it together and don’t have to worry about being stuffed in a locker after gym class!

Anyway, it seems like they are growing every day.  They are enjoying their GMO-free food from Hiland Naturals that is tested and guaranteed to be pesticide, herbicide and medication free.  What they are liking even more though is the grass and clover clippings we are tossing in a couple times a day to give them a taste of the salad bar pasture they will soon be moved to.  Just waiting for that yellow fuzz to turn to white feathers.  In about a week’s time, they will be put out on pasture to enjoy all the grass, clover, and other greenery, as well as bugs and worms, they can.  Then a few weeks after that, they will be ready to take home for you and your family to enjoy.

So, if you haven’t placed your order yet, please check out our Ordering Information page and get your order in today!  Almost the entire first batch of our nutritious, delicious, pasture raised poultry is spoken for and you don’t want to start grilling season cooking up bland, rubbery store bought factory chicken.  Pickup date for the first batch is 26 June.  We hope to hear from you soon!

If you have enjoyed our pasture raised chicken, please let us know.  Visit us and leave a review on our Facebook Page or LocalHarvest.com (or better yet, both).  Want to know when there is a new blog post or farm happening, please subscribe to our mailing list.

In the meantime, enjoy the spring weather and get those gardens started.  It won't be long until you can enjoy your home grown veggies with our pasture raised poultry!
