The Order

It happened. We ordered 25 Cornish Cross males from Welp Hatchery last week. The gentlemen will be here in two weeks. The brooder is half set up and their tractor is half built in my head. I am really excited about the watering system though. I recently purchased and am awaiting in the mail 10 chicken nipples. I will use them to make an automatic water--I bought enough to put an auto watering system in for our layers, too.

On Saturday I am going down to Patriot Farms to get the meat birds feed. I decided to by their feed based on my choices. The local chain store has the cheapest feed (11.25 a bag), Patriot has quality feed (13.25 a bag), and an organic company in Vancouver B.C. has the label (22.00 a bag). I am choosing local and thoughtful.
