Our New Hun Building Is Up and Running

On March 22, 2013 in General by spope

Despite the coldest February and March any of us can recall, our Hun Building was set up and ready for our first hatch of huns this past Tuesday March 19th.  The picture here is of our “table room” where the baby hun chicks start out on tables.   At six days of age, these baby huns will be moved to a brooder room where they will be reared similarly to pheasants.

We have 100,000 hun eggs on order from our supplier in France.  We hope to hatch 60,000+ huns from these eggs.  The 60,000 is split up into eight groups of 7,500 chicks, every two weeks.

Congratulations especially to Ryan George who general contracted the project.  Many others really pitched in to help.  We had help from our Township to get the zoning correct and get us a building permit.  Combs Surveying got things done on a tight schedule. Alliant Energy moved things along.  Bjoin Limestone prepared the site and Wick Buildings built the building on our fast track requirement.  Clarke Electric has completed things as we’ve needed them.  And Sam’s Well Drilling drilled our well just in time.  Now we just have to finish the building and get 8 acres of pens built on time!!
