The Homestead Hooligans got in trouble today and now they are jobbing it to get back on Mom's good side. Their job today is moving the chicks from the brooder to the mobile chicken tractors. They will tell you all about how to do it, the difference between chicks and turkeys, and why we start our turkeys with our chicks (a trick we learned from Joel Salatin at Polyface Farm).
