Last night we went out and picked up 100 Cornish Cross Chicks from one of our friends who raise them for a living. We did these last year as well and we got almost five pounds of meat per bird.

Since they grow so fast we had to set up 3 of our 4x4 brooders because last time we only had two and they were to cramped in that amount of space. We set the brooders up in such a way so that we could easily access their food and water because they eat a lot.

Here is the complete setup with the chicks and their feeders and waterers.
