On Saturday, we butchered 35 meat chickens in 3 1/2  hours!! It was a lot of fun…but a little cold.    Daddy took care of the heads, wings and legs. Jessie, Lyssa and Annie skinned them and Suzanna and Cassie gutted them. At the end we all cut up the pieces and bagged them. Bekah and Charissa were our photographers!!    Here are a few pictures…

How to Care for your new baby chickens in Hayti, Missouri Baby chicks are really adorable as well as challenging to stand up to, yet it's best to prepare for their arrival before you obtain them. Prepare first by collecting not just the correct materials, however likewise the correct knowledge to care for them. Raising baby chicks is fairly straightforward, you merely have to offer them with the following: A tidy and also warm environment Lots of food and also water Attention as well as love Habitat Your habitat could be an easy box, fish tank, feline service provider, or guinea porker cage. Line it with old towels and coverings (with no loose strings!) to start, and after a few weeks use straw over newspaper. Note: Avoid using just newspaper or other sandal surface areas-- or your chicks legs can expand misshapen. You likewise require something to serve up food and also water in, such as a chicken feeder and water dish from the feed store, or a pickle container cover for food and also a family pet bird water dispenser from an animal store. Likewise, as the chicks grow older you could present a perch right into the habitat to obtain them trained on setting down. Heat To maintain your chicks warm you have to provide them with a heat resource. This can be as basic as a 100 watt light bulb in a reflective clamp style lamp from a hardware shop, or an infrared reptile warmth light bulb also function very well (my referral). Chicks require this warmth 24/7 till their downy fluff is changed with feathers (which can take up to 2 months). The recently hatched require a temperature level between 90 and also 100 levels, and each week this could be lowered by about 5 degrees approximately. The heat resource should be on simply one side of the cage to permit chicks a variety of temperatures. The chicks are your best thermometer- if they are hiding in the opposite corner of your heat lamp, you need to reduce the temperature. If they are surrounding each other under the heat (not merely cuddling), you have to put some heat. House cleaning Tidiness is vital and it keeps your chicks healthy and balanced. Make sure to change the bed linens commonly as well as consistently provide clean food as well as water Food as well as water. Chicks grow quite quickly which needs lots of clean food and water. Offer sufficient at all times and check usually to prevent thirsty and also hungry chicks. Chick food is various than adult chicken food, and it can be found in both medicated as well as non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the first 2 months, after that switch to a raiser food (~ 17 % protein) for an additional 2 months, and then to a somewhat reduced healthy protein feed or a level feed (if you have layers). Soil Some chicks prefer to get a running start on taking dirt bathrooms, while others won't use up that task until they are older. If you have the area in your chick unit, introduce a tray of sand or dust for them to shower in. Interest as well as love There are a few advantages to spending quality time with your chicks. To start with, they will probably bond with you and also not escape as grownups. Second, if you analyze your chicks daily and view their behavior, you can catch ailment or various other issues earlier. Watch out for hissing, hopping, or other harmful signs. Make certain to also look at their poop, as diarrhea could result in matted feathers as well as clogged up cloaca.

Empty nest syndrome So your chicks are currently totally feathered as well as its time for them to leave the safety and security of your home and move outside right into a cage.
