We picked up a small batch (six) of meat birds this morning. They are somewhere between 36 and 72 hours old at this point, and will (unbelievably) be ready for harvest by the last week in May or first week in June when will they weigh 6-8 pounds! (It almost doesn't seem possible right now...) We also have about 35 "free range" meat birds coming later this month, which gain weight slightly more - taking 10-12 weeks to get to that size. Aaron and I are both really looking forward to eating meat raised here on High Meadow Lane again soon.
