These chickens are growing like crazy! I had forgotten how fast they grow!

We’re building cages to put them in...slightly more than one square foot per bird, which is what they get in commercial settings and is ok because these birds don’t like to walk around too much...just enough to get to the waterer and the feeder, you know?

The difference between these birds and the commercial ones is that they will get to have their cages moved to fresh clean grass several times a day and enjoy the shade trees in the back yard. No walking around in their own poop for the entire six weeks of their lives in poorly ventilated buildings.

I intend to just pick up the cages, move them to a fresh location and spray down the previous area with the hose.

It was such a lot of fun, and just cemented our decision to move back. Now we just gotta get this house finished and SOLD!
