Raising Chicks

Here are pictures of our first batch of Cornish Crosses.

We put the heat-lamps inside to keep the chicks from freezing

Below you can see that the feeder is half inside the brooder, and half outside so that in extreme cold, the chicks can eat near the warmth of the lamps.

We put wood-shavings down to catch the droppings. This keeps it cleaner for the chicks, and later we are able to throw it on our compost pile.

Three of our six turkeys. Three are mine, and three Caleb will sell to make a profit.
