This is such a busy time of year for us. We're winding down with the turkeys...taking Thanksgiving orders and strategically placing dogs to keep them safe at night. We finish up with the broiler chickens for the year until next February when we receive the first batch of chicks. We just processed the last batch and I just finished cleaning and bagging them. I always find the last ten to be torture because I want it to be done and I'm tired of handling chicken!
I enjoyed watching this particular batch. We didn't have enough solar chargers so they didn't have one connected to their poultry net. So knowing it was not electrified, they found it easy to escape under the net. The Cornish cross chickens cannot fly. Even though all of our birds forage within their netting, these guys truly hit the jackpot with totally free foraging everywhere! Under buildings, under the deck, even by the pigs...which it wasn't too smart for them when they were little. Pigs eat chickens!
