Poultry Facilities
Our Poultry facilities currently consist of a 400 square
foot chicken barn that contains 6 indoor/ outdoor pens
and about 32 breeding cages. The pens in the chicken
barn are cleaned every week and the cage trays are
cleaned every 3-5 days. We scrub out (with Oxine and
water solution) and refill every water bowl in the
chicken barn every single day.
We also currently have 3, 10 x 20 foot breeding pens
as well as 4, 10 x 16 foot breeding pens. We are adding
on 2-3 more pens this spring to house our growing
chicks. We have also just added 2 quail coops.
The guys have just finished a free range waterfowl
area that measures around 150 feet by 30 feet. It is
the first yard that is really big enough for our large
amount of waterfowl!
We do not give tours of our facilities as a biosecurity
precaution.
We also disinfect each pen, cage and food bowl on a
regular basis with an Oxine and water solution.
