We have turkeys and chickens filling the brooders and birds are already out in the field.
So far so good this season. We have found a hatchery is able to get the young ones to us within 12 hours of hatching! This has really improved the stock….at 4 weeks the weights are not great but they are consistent and we are optimistic. We also rebuilt the brooders over the winter and compartmentalized things a bit. This has helped keep the heat in and allowed better separation between feeding and sleeping. Downside is the chicks are not as visible. So far, the good out weights the bad- ah, sweet progress!
