CSA is an acronym for Community Supported Agriculture. Basically, we “buy in” to the Delvin’s farm in exchange for an incredible box of veggies each week. This week’s farm newsletter featured their chicken tractor. You see 110 chicks inside, fertilizing the orchard. If you’re considering a using a tractor with chicks, be sure it is very warm outside, consistently. Chicks cannot keep themselves warm until their feathers grow in. If they get chilled, especially in conjunction with a cold rain or dew, they will die. Chicks need a mom chicken to sit under, or a heat lamp that gives them access to a 95 degree spot plus an area to cool down. It’s warm enough now that the Delvin birds should be just fine outside in their tractor.
