WOW!  It's been a LONG time since I've checked in over here!  Buuuusy summer!  And now I have a new project!  BROILERS!


Thirty black broiler day old chicks on the way.  This will be my first attempt at raising on solely organic/non-gmo feed$, and of course pasture.  I’ll see what the cost is at seven weeks.  In the past they’ve been raised on pasture and non-medicated but not organic feed.  I’m taking the leap with this batch to see if I can afford it (can I NOT afford it?), what the final cost will be, and will my customers be willing to pay the extra. 
 
Stay tuned!
 
Also, once these broilers have come and gone, I'll be starting my incubators for fall hatches.  These will be chicks from my stock grown out over winter to be sold as spring layers.  This will also give me the opportunity to finish my incubation blog.
