Broilers Chickens, eggs About Us We are "late-onset" farmers, owning a small farm or large acreage 6 miles south of Battle Creek, a half-mile west of Highway 121. We have always had a passion for agriculture and particularly livestock. We started raising chickens in 2010 and have really enjoyed it. Selling meat chickens and eggs is only part of our plan. We're also starting breeding flocks of rare or extremely rare heritage breeds. For 2013 we have Norwegian Jaerhons as our white egg layers and brown egg layers Delawares, Russian Orloffs, Welsummers and Iowa Blues. Our main egg layers at this point are Rhode Island Reds and the Delawares. Practices (our standards for raising or making our products) We raise our broiler chickens on pasture (once old enough) so they get to enjoy the sunshine, fresh grass, bugs and lead a typical chicken lifestyle. The broiler chickens, once outside, live in a "chicken tractor" a small portable coop in our pasture. These tractor have access to the ground and are moved daily to fresh grass.We feed a all natural diet with no antibiotics. Our layer chickens have daily access to the great outdoors where they help keep the bugs down and get their daily "greens." We get our broiler chicken chicks from either Central Hatchery in Madison or Norfolk Hatchery. We are beginning to breed our own layers in the spring of 2013. Additional Information Find us on the web at http://www.facebook.com/Michowa.Acres Highlights this Month The girls are starting to lay with a frenzy this month. This is the last month for a while we will have large numbers of eggs. We have acquired new chicks to replace our current flock. Our older layers will go to the Madison Bird and Exotic Animal auction March 3. If you are looking for some nice layers, mine or someone else's this auction provides a good opportunity to get some chickens. |
