Just keep your eye on the prize! Developing a sustainable broiler flock will be worth it in the end. Hopefully at any rate haha

Side Note: I'm more than happy to try my hand at making spreadsheets for you guys if you're interested! I can't make any promises as far as them being any good or getting them done right away but i'l certainly do my best.

I love it!

Are you raising these as meat birds?

I plan on keeping two or three from each breed who had the best weight gain as breeders in order to raise their offspring as meat birds. As for the rest, the nice ones will be layers and the mean ones will be dinner

Ok Thanks!

I can't wait to see your results.

I'm getting 9 chicks (for egg purposes) this coming Thursday.

I'd live a spreadsheet but I don't know what to keep track of!

I want to account for every penny I spend on the batch.

Yes, this is a very useful spreadsheet! I've taken a few tips from it for mine.

I moved the oldest chicks out to my mobile coop today, now they've got about 15 square feet for the 21 of them. In another week or so, I will upgrade them to 24 SF, but for now I want them in a smaller pen to get used to the setup.

They seem to like the horizontal nipples and the hanging feeder, and they are taking to foraging like they've been dreaming about it. You can even see my makeshift "Naked Neck" in that one photo, poor girl...

Is Miss Naked Neck.....the puppy victim?

She is, she's doing well but a bit skiddish, as is expected. She's acting much better than she looks.

She will be fine.
