My How The Meat Birds Have Grown

We've definitely got some roosters in this batch.


I do believe they've at least doubled in size 2 weeks.

Oh my gosh! I cannot believe what a difference 2 weeks makes in the size of these birds. The meat chickens have had an outrageous growth spurt. They've at least doubled in size in the 2 weeks I've been up at the new farm. While I haven't yet heard a crow out of any of the roosters, I was hearing new chicken sounds this morning that I've not heard before. I can't wait to raise a batch of meat birds up at the new farm where I can let them free range like the laying hens. We just don't have the room on the urban homestead.

I haven't read your blog in quite some time and was so taken aback from all of your news! We both are building decks and gardens. Although I am a little "green" for your orchard. We have been clearing our 10 acres ourselves. I am so interested in how you will be building your beds and keeping out all the wild critters!

About Me

My Photo
I'm an almost 50-year-old woman trying to create a more sustainable lifestyle for my family on our less than 1/5th acre urban homestead in south Florida. You're welcome to follow our journey as we attempt to grow as much of our own organic produce as our little yard can take, raise backyard chickens for eggs, compost, and amusement, try to reduce our carbon footprint, learn to preserve food by canning, freezing, and dehydrating, and hopefully turn our little urban homestead into a profitable venture.

About This Blog

My Edible Yard was created in an effort to spur myself on while publicly journaling my trials, errors, and successes in the creation of our urban homestead. The key word here is publicly as I am famous for zealously starting projects and then abandoning them. In making my south Florida urban homesteading experience public, I hope to force myself to continue on with the project and actually create a more sustainable life for my husband and me. So please send kind words of encouragement, gardening and cooking tips to keep me going. They are all much appreciated.
