Chickens – Shanti Farm / A place of peace and tranquility Tue, 20 Dec 2016 21:03:28 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.2 /wp-content/uploads/2016/02/cropped-Chicken-1-32x32.jpg Chickens – Shanti Farm / 32 32 Moving day for the chicks! /2016/12/20/moving-day-for-the-chicks/ Tue, 20 Dec 2016 21:02:22 +0000 /?p=659 Read more]]> Today was moving day for the 7 week old chicks.  They moved from the brooder to the outdoor “Teen Hangout”.  This is a sectioned off area of the run just for the chicks until they begin to lay.  I do not put them in with the layers before they begin to lay because the layer feed has too much calcium for them.

Initially they found the move a bit unnerving, but they are now enjoying exploring the big, amazing world.

Can you believe that just 7 weeks ago these guys looked like this…

I will only be keeping 11 of the chicks.  In the end of January/beginning of February I will have some beautiful 12 week old pullets to sell.  Check back then (or email me) if you are interested.
