Halfway there

All thirty of the meat birds are doing well and getting noticeably bigger by the day. So far, we have not lost a single one, which always feels like a small victory in itself.

We are now roughly halfway to what we call graduation day for the birds. The routine is steady at this point. Daily moves to fresh grass, full feeders, plenty of water, and check-ins throughout the day. The early fragile stage is behind them, but there is still plenty of growing left to do.

It’s rewarding to see how quickly they change in just a few short weeks. What started as a box of tiny, chirping chicks is now a group of stout birds that are fully settled into pasture life.

We still have work ahead, but crossing the halfway mark feels good. Progress is visible, the system continues to work, and the birds are thriving.
