Invasion of my reloading shed
« on: March 14, 2019, 01:11:19 PM »
We can’t keep up with the farm fresh egg demand in my area.  Got 50 today and getting another 50 next week and the week after.  Hoping to be up to 300 next year

You better keep shooting the coyotes, bud.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

 :o that’s a bunch of chickens! Haha organic chicken manure is 4.99-5.99 for 1 cu. ft. Remember that!
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short.

Amen

Every coyote that shows it’s hide on the farm gets shot.   
We do plan on selling chicken manure at some point. Organic and gmo free

 :yeah:  Looks like Rhode Islands?  Maybe some ameraucanas?  We got 12 RIRs last weekend.  We will have 20-30 this summer.... small beans compared to your operation.

I would like to hear about and see pics your setup for 300+ birds.  Indoor, outdoor, both, free range?

Yes Rhode Island Reds

$3  dozen
They are in door out door.  Legally speaking they are free range but that’s do to the run. They do get let out from time to time but I move the run when they get it cleaned up. I’ll continue to update this thread as I go.  I got a lot to do in the next few months as I’m currently only set up for 30-40 hens.

Neat!!  Feed will be 80% or so of your cost, choose wisely.  You might consider moving your water a little to keep splashes off of lamps.  Neighbor lost a barn and some livestock recently from a heat lamp fire.

water is on the cold side now. Pic was taken just after putting chicks in. No water or feed was in the feeders when pic was taken.
Feed is a big cost but my current setup is more than paying for its self. 
Worst case scenario is I’ll have a bunch of laying hens for sale in 6 months

My garage and barn are inundated with chicks right now and we have more coming all the way through June.  Mostly Easter Egger and exotics.

Do you get your feed in bulk from a local supplier?

Look at Red Bridge in Kettle for a decent production non-GMO layer.  I bought 3 tons of his hog grower mix and 2 of the chicken and was impressed with gain/etc... but trucking to the wetside is just too much to make it sustainable.  I'd need to haul 6-8 tons at a time to make it worth the hauling.  Your mileage is much closer.
