...you know it's time to move the chicks out of the garage nursery. And that's what happened this weekend. We were planning on moving them outside the middle of this next week because the weatherman is calling for an unseasonably warm and dry spell. But all of sudden on Friday night their little intestinal systems flipped over from producing little chick poo to making big gross big chicken poo, and the smell in the garage immediately became eye-watery-ly
unbearable. So out they went.
On the plus side, we usually reach this stage with the Cornish Rock Cross at around 3 1/2 weeks, so we got a week farther along with a much larger flock. This seems to indicate that the Red Rangers are more efficiently using their food instead of just producing copious amounts of expensive fertilizer. Hopefully our weight vs. feed consumption will bear that out in the end.
