Hello everyone.
The temperature has been rising for a while now and the rainy season is approaching.
Humidity and heat are things you need to be careful of when raising chickens, so you need to be careful from now on in the season.
Since the outbreak of avian influenza in Japan at the end of April, the chickens have been kept grazing free, but grazing has finally resumed at the end of May!
At Ark Tategamori, we allow chickens to graze in the open, but if an outbreak of disease such as avian influenza occurs, grazing is suspended for a certain period of time.
This is a measure to protect the chickens, and we have also taken measures such as requiring people to wear shoe covers when collecting eggs.
We will continue to monitor the trends of avian influenza, but will also continue to let the chickens graze in the open, so if you visit Ark Tategamori, you will be able to see the chickens grazing!
↑When the weather is good, they play outside like this.
If you visit Ark Tategamori, be sure to take a look at the chickens grazing.
