The chick production line is now in fully operational mode. We currently have 3 incubators in operation. The chicks are move to a brooder box shortly after they hatch for a couple of weeks and then go into a nursery cage in our back garden. From there they go to the big cage on our Nearside plot (we use this also as a holding cage for the cockerel and hens from which we are taking eggs for hatching). Once the chicks are big enough, they will be released into the flock. We recently took the first batch of chicks to hatch from the nursery to the Nearside. That freed up space back home for the next batch of chicks.
