Quarter 1 Week 4.... On the Farm
Week 4 - September 16-20
We placed one chicken in the bachelor pad to check out its safety. Last week we had a predator attack and kill one of our roosters. The students made significant repairs to the pen to keep predators out! WTF. It made it through the weekend without any predators but it died. No apparent reason.
So we began making two separate cages inside the old chicken coop which is inside the new chicken coop.
Egg production is slowing....and we are not able to keep up with demand at school for eggs.
Just a note to myself......
So at the moment on the farm, we have 5 baby chicks, 3 Marans and 2 Easter Eggers that were hatched between Sept 10-12th. We have 6 baby chicks that were hatched between Aug 28th - 30th. We had 16 baby chicks hatched between Aug 15-17 that was given to our goat babysitter for there services over the summer. And back in June, we had 6 chicks hatch Brahma/Leghorn mix that was given to a family in Upland.
Hatchings: Reviewed
Sept 10-12 produced 5 chicks
Aug 28-30 produced 6 chicks
Aug 15-17 produced 19 chicks
