It is almost spring here on the ranch and you know what that means\u2026..chick season!! \u00a0This is one of my favorite times of the year! \u00a0This year, on top of our usual hatchings, we will be raising for the first time ever, meat birds! \u00a0In our quest to live a more self sufficient lifestyle, raising meat birds was a no brainer. \u00a0We will be trying 2 breeds, Red Rangers and Plymouth Rocks. \u00a0My hope is that after this season, I will never have to buy chicks or meat bird hatching eggs ever again. \u00a0My plan is to keep 2 hens and 1 rooster from each breed to keep the cycle going.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, we are busy working on yet another coop and run area for them. \u00a0For the most part they will be free ranging, but for those times when no one is home they need their own run area. \u00a0The coop is yet another recycled fruit\/vegetable stand that a local grocery store gave me when they replaced them with new ones. \u00a0It measures 5 feet by 5 feet and 4 feet tall, perfect for a chicken coop after a few modifications!<\/p>\n

We’ll keep you posted on our journey with meat birds. \u00a0Until then, Happy Hatching!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
