Chicken Update

The chickens are now almost 9 weeks old. They will live another two weeks. Yesterday we weighed two of them. The hen was 4.75 pounds and the rooster was 5.25 pounds. He was pretty heavy! I love the coloring of the hen.

Can you tell the different spots where the chicken tractors has set for a few days before we move it? I think it's pretty funny to see the green areas!

Look at the expression on that chicken in the second picture. Looks like she's saying, "Hey, my weight is my own business!" (If chickens have expressions!)

I noticed she seemed to be smiling. As a hen she must have been hoping to be under 5 lbs!
