Our poultry

We raise Cornish cross chickens which are bred for their large breast and growth rate. We are experimenting with a new chicken this year called Freedom Rangers or Label Rouge a Chicken developed in France for their high quality meat. The one thing I have noticed about this breed is they eat more grass and scratch for bugs a lot more aggressively than the Cornish cross, but they will require more time to reach maturity, only time will tell. This is our first year with Turkey's , I currently have 6, three bronze at 8 weeks of age and three Broad Breasted white.

I was always told by my father that they are hard to raise, but they seem to be doing well. I have noticed that turkey's area a more social bird they like company, and they love grass they get excited every time I move their pen to fresh grass, they seem to purr almost like a cat.
