On Thursday, August 23rd, 150 chicks arrived at the farm.
The day old chicks were anxious to be at their new home in our greenhouse where they have lots of warmth! The chicks even got to meet a few of our friends of the farm while they were picking up their share of the harvest for the week.
These chicks are a meat bird variety called ‘Jumbo Cornish X Rocks’.
‘Males will dress from 3 to 4 pounds in six to eight weeks and females will take about one and one-half weeks longer to reach the same size.’ ~Murray McMurray (Hatchery)
Stop by and visit them!
