Farm Blog

We're continuing to go from farm project to farm project at a high rate, but often unplanned schedule.  Sharon has been working what seems like non-stop with the chickens.  It's just a matter of weeks/days until the first batch of broilers will be processed.  It is amazing how fast these chickens grow.  They have moved from the top of the pasture to the bottom and are turning the corner (no pun intended) which is a pretty good distance to cover.  Sharon has combined two sizes of pullets into one pen and they're allowed to roam the pasture.  One of the pullets had decided it was a wild bird and had move to the other side of the pasture.  It didn't go in at night and just roamed and hid at night.  It wouldn't have been long until one of our many nightly predators would have found her and made her their chicken dinner, so the boys caught her and took her back to the rest of the flock.  The chickens take an amazing amount of management.  I'm not sure how Sharon keeps everything strait.
