Broiler Chicks AKA The Raptors

The notification to order your Broiler Chicks came
a couple of days ago. I usually raise 25 to 50 each yr.
to fill the freezer. I usually sell a few too.
 Last year the price was $7.00 ea. $7.50 cut up.
Most came to 4.5 lbs ea. and took 9 weeks to get
that big. We call them the Raptors because of the ravenous
way they eat. Don't get knocked down in the chicken
house around these birds!
 The pic is when they first arrive home.
Hard to believe they 're ready to eat in just 2 months.
