Although he is carefully avoiding making any promises, Joe says he may be done with the new layer house next weekend, provided we can find some used tin for the roof. This means I can get a batch of meat chickens in just a few weeks. We ate our last chicken from the fall batch of broilers this week, and I think having a freezer with no tasty chicken inside is spurring Joe on, through wind and cold, to finish this project! This time I am planning to try broilers from a hatchery 90 minutes north of Greensboro called Pure Quackery. They are working to build a regional food system by providing chicks to farms within driving range of their hatchery, and I would like to support them instead of purchasing chicks from a national hatchery. Check them out at Purequackery.com.
