We have a mixed age, mixed breed flock. These chickens wake up early each morning to hunt for bugs, eat grass, dust bathe, & explore the world around them. We provide them with food, water, oyster shell, grit, & lots of treats. They roam as far as they want all day, then come home to roost in their coop at night. We make sure they are locked up safe at Sunset each day since nighttime is the most dangerous time for them.
Happy Hens lay awesome eggs. Plus, they are super fun to watch! It's pretty cool to see each one develop their own personalities, likes & dislikes. For example, some love strawberries, while others refuse to eat them. Others prefer blueberries, others just ignore them. Everyone loves corn, cabbage, & black fly larva.
We prefer raising lots of small batches of chicks, that way everyone gets spoiled silly!
We make sure that our chickens get used to people & have a lot of ways to have fun.
We use Parakeet jungle gyms & toys to ensure they have plenty of mental stimulation while in the Brooder (baby pen). Once they are grown up & outside, they have children's play-sets to play on. Other farms may think we're silly for doing this but we enjoy being known as the best Chicken Tenders around!
