Growing Season Begins + 3 Things RFF Chicks Get on Day One
Wedneday was one of our favorite days on the farm- the day our first flock of chicks arrived!
Moving our first chicks into the brooder marks the official start of the Riley Family Farms poultry production season. We take a break from growing meat birds during our short Mississippi winter, so that means our brooders and on-field shelters are empty between late November and mid-February. This year our first flock of six hundred day old chicks arrived on Valentines Day.
The Long Road Back to Where we Started
Les and Christy Riley were married in May, 1986. Today Les and Christy have been blessed with almost 38 years of marriage. Along the way, they became born again Christians, and were blessed to give birth to nine children - and adopt three more! Our values are rooted in our god given duties as Christians, and our family is the heart of our farm and business, with everyone contributing in ways both large and small to our mission to build a better Mid South.
