You can see they are getting bigger and are more rangy looking compared to the little fluff balls they were at one day and even one week. I hope to keep them in this brooder box another two weeks before I move them to the grow out pen and grass. We'll see. The brooder is six feet by three feet and right now there is plenty of room. Not sure how much growth we will see in the next two weeks. I'll move them earlier or later, depending.
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.
