Well - 3/4 of the way! This is awesome..... these chicks are huge! Full fledged white feathers, red combs and all. We went away for 5 days and left the chickens in great care. When we came back they were way huger than before we left! Its amazing to see how quickly they grow and we really noticed it having been absent for several days.
While we were away, ecoli in beef being sold commercially, locally, was all over the media. People getting sick. Questions being asked "why is so much of our entire country's beef dependent on one processing facility in Alberta?" What about keeping it local? What about eating food that was raised / grown / made close to where I reside. This whole "scare" renewed my confidence in the importance of raising / growing / making my families' food. Raising and processing these chickens is only a small cog in the wheel. But its a good start.
