Episode 28 - Getting the Brooder Ready for Meat Chicks
Meat chickens, broilers, Cornish cross, etc. There’s many names out there for these birds, but how can you ensure you’re getting them to the finish line (aka the dinner table). Brooders are discussed heavily this week, along with general prep for chick arrival. Now, chicks are about to be shipped your way - are you ready for them?
