Here are the ducks and broilers!
Our broiler chicks are growing fast! We have 10 of them for the Jackpot Broiler show in early July. Last year we got 20 through this program, but this year we also ordered 20 through 4-H, which will arrive in early July. We did less for the Jackpot show this year because there would be too many to butcher. 40 chickens are a lot to butcher, but they could be eaten no problem. Out of 18 last year, we finished them in early spring. So now we are back to store chicken, but not for long!
Another view.
Here are the ducks. They are meat ducks, but they also will lay eggs next year, so we are thinking of keeping them.
