It was just a month ago that the meaties looked more like little Easter chicks.
Now they have grown into gawky looking chickens, with bare featherless undersides and underarms making them look a little more dinosaur than bird at times. From above they look pretty good.
The hens have grown too but not as much. Their feathers are coming in in a nice orderly fashion. A meat birds is checking out what is so interesting. When the meat birds get in the way of where a hen wants to go, the hen just walks underneath and carries on its way. This weekend Marty is building them their own coop.
"Grocery shopping" has taken on a new meaning.
In the fields all around us are new babies. We enjoyed sitting by the road for a while over the weekend, listening to all the "baaaaing."
One of my birds seems to be growing some black feathers. At first I thought someone had pooped on it. Nope, nice fluffy black feathers.
Gumdrop likes to sit outside keeping guard of her precious charges.

All the birds look happy and healthy, enjoying the grass and sunshine. And Gumdrop is glad to have a job.
