Chickens and eggs

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

In addition to our exciting Aquaponics project, we are diversifying our products in other areas.  These are our new Rhode Island Red chickens.  Excess product has been one of our most important issues at RhibaFarms, these chickens are one of our solutions.  The chickens will be raised on a diet of wheatgrass, micro-greens and double structured water to be supplemented by a traditional natural grain diet when and if needed.  We are planning on bringing a better quality egg to the market, produced by the best fed chickens in the valley.

Our chickens are living out at RhibaFarms south near Florence.  When they get a little bigger they will move into their new chicken tractor and will serve a third purpose of conditioning the soil in the fields at RhibaFarms south.  These 50 chickens are merely chicks now but in about 5 months we will have eggs available.
