  • Welcome to our farm's evening chores video! In this episode, join us as we tackle the rewarding task of feeding over 400 Cornish Cross chickens. Watch as we showcase the meticulous process of distributing nutritious feed to each chicken. With a careful balance of high-quality non-gmo feed and essential nutrients, we prioritize their health and growth. Witness the organized chaos as we efficiently navigate through the flock, ensuring every bird receives its share.
    We are passionate about the well-being of our chickens, and this video gives you an up-close look at the incredible effort that goes into providing for them. Aside from the feeding process, we'll also highlight other essential tasks we undertake during evening chores. From checking water sources to maintaining clean living spaces, we leave no stone unturned when it comes to the welfare of our feathered friends.
    Whether you're a fellow farmer, an aspiring homesteader, or simply curious about the intricacies of managing a large flock, this video offers valuable insights. Join us on this journey and gain a deeper appreciation for the dedication and hard work required to raise over 400 Cornish Cross chickens.
