| French Freedom Ranger Chicken |
A quick update on our pastured poultry operation:
Our chickens have been purchased and are set for delivery on March 6, so we should receive them on March 8. We were hoping to get them a couple of weeks earlier, but evidently there is a big demand for this breed of chicken. The breed we chose are French Freedom Ranger chickens because they are most suitable for free range pastured poultry operations such as ours.
After about 3 weeks of life, the chickens will be ready to move out to pasture (around March 29), so our next purchase will be the electrified poultry netting and energizer in preparation for that. We are also in the process of acquiring the needed parts for the chicken plucker, among other things.
A more lengthy update will be in order after the birds arrive in a few short weeks. As always, your questions and comments are welcomed.
