We added 40 more broilers to our barn. The learning curve continues. This time we moved the brooder into a stall in the barn so the chicks would be warmer and safer from predators (not that we have had problems with them yet, but why take a chance) and it would leave room for hay.
There are more white ones than red coloured ones... it will be interesting to see how different they are than the first batch. This is another group of "Frey Special Dual Purpose". The brochure says the white ones are male and the red one's female, but we didn't have any white in our first run. I will have to watch for fighting, I think. With smaller flocks in each tractor, hopefully they will have more distraction and the fighting will be kept to a minimum.
