Our new meat birds arrived and we’re excited about how well they were packed for mailing, the amount of space they had and how healthy they were upon arrival. Hatcheries that usually allow in person pickup are more cautious and protective of their families, workers and the birds so they practice more mailing than normal. This order came from @bobsbiddies in Georgia a neighboring state with a shorter distance to travel. Bob and Diane are very efficient and have safeguards in place to ensure a healthy bird arrives. They told us to expect our order this week and they were punctual. Our next processing date is this Saturday and we have a couple local neighbors coming to learn and process one of their own birds with us. We always use gloves and aprons but we’re adding masks as well. These will be available within the next 6-8 weeks. More about that in our upcoming post. We’rethankful for the bio security workshops we’ve attended. #chickens #pasturebroilers #broilers #broilerchickens #biddies #babychicks #poultry #farmlife #homesteading #homesteadinglife #raisingchickens #feedingamerica #hühner #poulet #pollo #pollitos #kuiken #rural #rurallife #biosecurity #poultrybiosecurity #sustainableliving (at Morning Glory Homestead) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAMJJA1F1J3/?igshid=14dfqjzg63dgw
