Two Boys Turn Cedar Island into Thriving Chicken Ranch
On a thirty acre Cedar river island near Nashua two brothers aged 15 and 23 transformed the land into a bustling poultry operation. They bought eggs and breeder stock, built coops from dry goods boxes, drilled a well, and raised 800 chickens with a 400 egg incubator. They cultivate corn and potatoes, keep cows, plan to self-sustain feed, and supplement income by pearling and selling clam shells to button factories earning up to 20 dollars per ton in winter. They also ferry shells upriver with a younger brother, targeting steady profit while expanding the ranch to include gardens and more meat sources.
