having the freedom to be a chicken


These chicks get to go outside around 6:20am and don't go back into their house until 6pm. They eat grass, bugs and whatever else interest them. They take dust baths, play together and soak up the sun. Chickens that you buy at the grocery store never get to go outside...they are cramped up in a building with thousands of others chickens...it is so sad. That's why we decided to raise our own chickens for food. We like to know what they have eaten, how they have been treated and how they are processed. They are 6 weeks old now and will we start processing them around Thanksgiving.
