Happy, healthy, hungry chicks!

Our chicks spend their first few weeks in a commercial brooder. This provides a consistent temperature in a draft free environment that helps get the chicks off to a good start.

That's a "Chickie Nursery" ?!?!?

Their house isn’t even complete yet but my Dad is busting his butt to build our new “Chickie Nursery”….among many other projects! Did I happen to mention he is 70!!!!
In addition to our commercial brooder, our nursery is insulated and has plenty of room for future transition pens. Once the chicks start are a few weeks old, they will be moved into larger pens that allow them space to run around and start testing out their wings but yet still provide a warm and secure environment. Once they are starting to feather out nicely, they will be able to spend time outdoors, before going to their new homes!!
