Six Weeks Old

Tomorrow the chicks will be six weeks old. If man is allotted three score and ten years then we figure the chicks are the equivalent of 35 years old. A co-worker let me borrow a scale as we had no idea how much they weighed. We weighed three of them tonight, and they ranged from 3 to 3.75 pounds. The runt wouldn't let me catch her. The plan is to grow them to 12 weeks.
I think our chickens are very pretty because of the mostly brown feathers with some darker charcoal interspersed on some of them.
