- $38.50 for the chicks
- $59.38 for 2 fifty pound bags of "Organic Soy-Free Broiler Feed"
No new losses since the single chick on day two. Everyone is healthy, strong, and
growing. We are 45 days from butchering.

Broiler Chicks - Day 11
Not much new to report other than I picked up another bag of
feed. At eleven days old they’ve gone
through about 30 pounds. I'm guessing it
will take another two weeks or so for them to eat the rest of the 70# we
have on hand. Each day they consume a
bit more than the day before.
Expenses so far (not counting electric and supplies such as
bedding/heat lamps, waterers, etc.):

Hey Cindy, where did you get the feed? I'm getting ready to order meaties and would like to use organic feed.
ReplyDeleteHi Laurie, I'm getting mine from the co-op in town. It's PRICEY. Sarah said she has found a source for non-GMO that is less but she wasn't certain if it was organic. Plus you have to buy quite a bit at a time. I have the guys number but still haven't gotten around to calling him yet as I don't think I can handle that much feed at one time - even if it does turn out it's organic.
ReplyDeleteThat's right, I'd forgotten that the co-op started carrying organic feed. Thanks for the reminder!
