6 Weeks Old and 6 To Go

 
 
 

The chickens are six weeks old now.  They are eating machines!  They are going through 100 pounds of feed every 5 days. We will soon begin planning our butcher day which is just six weeks away.  Freezer space and chicken recipes are fresh on my mind.  It will be nice to have a stocked freezer full of pasture raised poultry. 

Since the beginning we have lost three due to over crowding in the brooder.  With 49 birds still alive we feel very blessed.  They are not the cute little chicks anymore, but an amazing sight to see none the less. 

God is good.
