The meat chickens are in full swing with 300 chicks in the brooders and 200 already moving across the pasture! We’ll be adding about a hundred chicks a week to the brooders and the pasture for the next several weeks.
We plan to butcher the first batch of chickens for pick-up at the farm in late June. We’ll be sending out details and a link to the chicken scheduler to partners around the first week of June so be looking for that.
