Description:

500 baby chicks have arrived at Darby's farm thus beginning the cycle of raising broilers for the season.  With the chicks on farm we will talk about what the next steps are.

We also discuss the importance of choosing the right hatcheries and breed.  Not just to make sure that you receive quality birds, but also to make sure that you receive quality birds in the shortest shipping time possible. 

Darby will talk about introducing the birds to pasture and how started with the Salatin style chicken tractor and then evolved away from that.   And we talk about how Darby plans his successions of broilers.

There is a lot of good advice in this one for those just starting out and those with experience.
