It's Poultry Season Again!
It's officially spring time here, and we have chickens and turkeys in the field, enjoying their daily grass and sunshine and eating all the bugs in sight.
Almost weekly, a batch of chicks is old enough to be moved out to grass, and new day-old chicks soon replace them in the brooder. It's fun to see them grow and develop.
We will have chickens and turkeys in the field until the weather turns cold again in early November. Poultry season is always busy and always exciting!

New Chicks in the Brooder
These chicks were born this morning. When we introduce them to their new home, they are ready to drink on their own and immediately find their food and start munching.
When they aren't snacking, they alternate between running up and down the fresh wood chips and stopping for a quick nap!

Chicks Head Out to Pasture
Once they're about 2 weeks old, the chicks have grown their feathers and are ready to go out onto fresh pasture.
They enjoy the bugs, grass and sunshine, and get moved to fresh ground daily.

RECIPE:
Chicken Curry Rub
Our family's favorite dry rub, delicious on beef and pork too!
Toss legs and thighs with curry rub and bake in a hot oven. Chicken skin will be crispy and the meat will be tender and falling off the bone...
