Meat Chick Update

Today we moved the meat birds to a bigger space.  They are growing well, and they have feathers on their wings.

Lydia enjoyed taking these chicken photos, actually.  She moved the chickens for me as I got them clean water and food.

The meat chicks will be 2 weeks old tomorrow.  We could harvest them in as little as one month, or wait a couple more weeks.  We'll see how they grow.

So far, they have consumed about half of a 50-lb bag of chick feed.  I was happy to find non-GMO, Kentucky milled chick feed at a local store, and it's actually a good price.  They are eating more all the time, so I'll have to buy more feed this week, but I expected that.
