Rural Gardening: I can't believe how these things grow!, 1 by gallesfarm

I don't want their legs breaking down under them either. I've got the new batch (the replacement shipment) too, which are just a couple days old, and in a couple weeks I'll get them all out into the coop with a little fenced area where they can roam around and hunt bugs. A moth got into their brooder and you should have seen the excitement! :-)

The other thing I like about these guys is that so far I don't have to go on PBP (pasty butt patrol) a couple times a day. The last time we raised chicks (heavy breed layers), that was a problem for some.

I'm getting some keets this weekend, and then the rest of the replacements next week - my layers - so it'll be quite a little poultry farm around here soon.
