We are a small Hobby Farm with just a HINT of insanity. Maybe a tad more. Nestled near the foothills of the Blue Ridge, we raise and sell poultry, hatching eggs, and goats. My husband, Gregg, aka the Voice O' Reason, keeps me alive and off the 6 o'clock news. Our daughter, Rebekah, is special needs - which mostly means she's way smarter than most. We also have a daughter, Elisabeth, and a son, Ben. One married, one about to be. That should sum things up enough to follow along.

Broiler Chicks - Day 8
The chicks are all doing well. One had a slight case of pasty butt very early on - likely from shipping stress. It is fine, now. Other than that all thirty peeps are doing great. They are voracious eaters and feed intake has quadrupled since they arrived. They are growing and have a stout look to them, especially the ones I assume are the males. Here's a video I took Wednesday afternoon. They were hatched the previous Wednesday so are a week old in the video.
