Benjamin and the same bird he held up last week |
A real handful |
In just 8 short weeks these birds go from one day old to full grown birds ready for butchering. It is remarkable how fast these Cornish Cross meat birds grow. Last week we showed you how they looked when they first came in. We'll follow their progress and show you their amazing metamorphosis.
Starting to see white feathers on the wings |
The other night we lost another bird. I think he was suffocated by the others that piled up on him. So now we have 99 left. They are quickly outgrowing the brooders that they are in. My project is to quickly move these birds out of their brooders and into chicken tractors out on the pasture.
There they will be on grass and (thankfully) out of the garage.
