Our poultry are:
-
Locally hatched (quail/turkey on farm, chicks mostly from Whiting Farms in Delta).
-
Handled with love from day one, resulting in calmer and friendlier birds.
-
Raised together in large, multi-breed/species flocks, with a few adult birds for guidance. This makes them far easier to integrate, and less likely to fight or bully newcomers.
-
Given spacious outdoor access from 3+ weeks, with enrichments and training roosting bars starting around 3 weeks.
-
Offered greens from chick stage, encouraging natural foraging instincts.
-
Brooded under heat plates vs. lights, encouraging natural sleep cycles. This has been linked to decreased feather picking and cannibalism.
-
Fed non-GMO feed only, including any greens/supplemental.
-
Vaccinated for Marek's disease.
