Cozy Brooder - Weeks 1-3
Day old chicks are picked up from the hatchery and gently introduced to their new home. These fuzzy yellow balls of cuteness are given electrolytes and provided a warm and comfy place to live. They stay in the brooder until they grow their feathers and are ready to be moved outside to pasture.
Fast Growth - Weeks 4-8
These cornish cross extra heavy meat-type birds are bred for meat and grow very quickly. They spend the majority of their time on pasture inside the protection of a fenced enclosure. They forage for bugs and seeds and munch on grasses. They are also fed a commercial feed that provides all the necessary nutrients and protiens.
Ideal for Roasting - Week 9
At approximately week 8-9 they are taken to a licensed processing facility and typically yield a 4-5 lbs dressed bird. Due to the more dense meat (less moisture) we find these chickens ideal for roasting. We will usually have a variety of sizes of whole chickens in our store freezer available for sale.
