Rebel's Flying Feathers - Poultry

The outdoor brooder room this evening. I added the latest batch of grow outs today, moved the oldest group out yesterday. These are 5-8 week olds. There’s over 100 birds in here- it might not look like it (there is also an outdoor run 😉). This pen is where they get exposed to a lot of new things - sunshine, wind, fluctuations in temperatures, rain, and the natural yuckies of the world- which is why I don’t sell the chicks once they’ve been moved out here. This is the time when their immune systems start building what they need to fight off everything the world will throw at them. The stress of a big move wouldn’t help them. This is where survival of the fittest happens. If they can make it through the next 3-4 weeks in here, they usually make it to adulthood without any issues.

Today’s hatch of Tolbunt Polish. I think this is my biggest hatch of them so far.
