This is from my journal at the farm. Its probably a late entry. I may make several entries a day to try to keep up with the backlog of entries I have.

Happy Father's Day.  We didn't do anything to special today.  We started out with processing 10 broilers.  We only did roosters as those are suppose to grow faster then the hens.  Live weight on these fellas was 7.25-8 pounds at 8.5 weeks old.  Not bad I figure for pastured poultry with grain as well. 

I believe in naturally raised meat, so no medicated feed at all.  I also believe that chickens need to be out and about so they are inside a fence but have grass and bugs to eat as well as their feed.  They are now so big that they can't get inside the coop but they all sleep beneath it.  I'm so glad that Rich put the coop on blocks.

The Hudson rabbit ppl stopped by to pick up their mini lops this afternoon.  After a few questions, they were on their way.  I think those 2 bunnies are going to be very spoiled!
