  • Those are active, healthy looking birds!!

    How long do you grow them for?

  • 7-9 weeks

  • at what age will that breed eat grass & Bugs? Mine are 7 weeks and dumb as a post.

  • as soon as you put them on grass. they like younger grasses and grasses that seem to grow in shade as opposed to fescue, etc. I have some now that are in a shady clearing in my woods that are tearing up some japanese stilt grass. they love the clover as above. they need that high protein feed though, as fast as they grow. they'll eat bugs as young as a day old when i throw them in the brooder. and remember these guys size up like adults but have the mind of any 7 week old chick.

  • This reminds me of our 6 chickens. :) They roam all day in the back yard grass, and they put themselves to bed in their coop at night.

    We LOVE them!

  • Man they look fun to pluck! Really look and those feathers! So loose and fewer!

  • These chickens look so happy and peaceful. It's really calming just watching them just BE so satisfied and comfortable and natural in healthy clover.

    I kinda like their peeps, too.

    I could run an hour-long show of just this as computer wallpaper, keeping me company while I do housework.

  • I covinced my dad to let me buy chickens for our organic house. Now I have 6 of them and plan to sell the extra eggs at the farmers market near our house. I had many lemonade stands to provide money to feed the chickens.

  • I hear you. There would have to be enormous changes in agriculture the way it is now for everyone to raise chicken like we do to meet the current demand for meat - it requires a ton of land area in terms of grains to grow the feed and what the chickens graze on. We have our little farm and raising birds like this makes sense, and we're making some top quality food for people who want it. But to make large scale changes is a whole different ball game.

  • I will raise a chicken farm like this

  • the way it otta be and the way it'll never be
