Besides laying hens, the thing ward and I are interested in doing is pastured broilers. Now, we've read all the books....looked at all the pictures and even processed a few times with some other farms. But we're on the road to our own now. The first test batch of cornish rock cross birds are 4 weeks old today. They went out of the brooder last week and onto the pasture. they are contained in a pen ward has built that is moveable. We are moving every couple of days right now, but I imagine when they get a little bigger every day move will be necessary. We have 25 test ones in this pen. We've had loads of people stop and ask what it was. Ward keeps saying I made him move out of the house and he's living in the pasture. HA! they should be ready for the freezer in a few weeks.
