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.
