Hello! So sorry it has been a
few weeks since you have heard from me.
I arrived at Ozark Acres Farm, home of the Griffin’s, just as an
unfortunate accident happened with Grandma Griffin. She is on her way to recovery!
Julie Griffin, my eleven year
old friend took me to the chicken house on their 330 acre farm in Northwest
Arkansas. Julie is a 6th
grader at a middle school.
On Julie’s farm, they have eight, 350 foot long poultry houses. They grow pullets for a major poultry breeder company, Cobb which is headquartered in Siloam Springs, Ar.
Julie shared with me that the
chickens are 1 week old and they will stay on her farm until they are 21 weeks
old. They eat out of the feed track you
see beside Julie. You may notice a water
line that hangs from the ceiling have a few chickens drinking from it.
Julie let me play in the
chicken feed. Chickens eat at ration of
mostly ground up corn. Julie likes to
let it run through her fingers.
Look
for me to report again soon.

Thank you Julie for showing Flat Aggie around your farm and letting him inside the chicken houses!
