In the Brooder
The birds are looking good at 6 weeks. Starting to feather in more fully and eating like mad. It's been in the 70's and 80's most days here so the birds are a lot less active in the day now. One thing I failed to consider was the sizable increase in water consumption. I have a 55 gallon water tank which gravity feeds a couple dozen chicken nipples. That solution was awesome for 50 birds but it needs to filled too frequntly now which makes me wish I build a hose fed system often build with toilet bowl floats. Running a hose 300' every other day is annoying.
Put them on the scale today, two weeks until dooms day. I'm choosing smaller birds to weight so my average should be higher but I'm pleased with their progress.
