Getting ready for chicks
Posted 3/2/2008 5:36pm by Guy & Sandy Ashmore.
We are readying the brooder for our new baby chicks on March 26, 2008. The roof needed replaced. Guy and Conard worked all afternoon to tear off the old roof and Uncle Glenn was called in for technical assistance. We acquired our brooder from the Wilson farm about 3 miles away. It was quite an undertaking to move a building. It was well built on the orginial site which helped the process. It was loaded on a trailer we borrowed from another neighbor. I guess it to be 25 years old when we moved it here. We have used it for 8 or 9 years, and it has served us well. It is always exciting to get the first batch of chicks each year. Those day old chicks are one of the first signs of spring on our farm.
