Sorry for the gap in updates... It's been 2 weeks since my last update but here it is.
Week 3: Lost 1 more bird. We're down to exactly 100 birds. Not sure why it died but it just dropped dead. It was weird.
I had 1 bird that must have sprained it's leg. It was having trouble standing and it's leg was splayed off to the side. I used some of the techniques on this site to fix the splayed leg. I put it in a "Hospital pen" with a lower protein feed for a little while and nursed it back to health. I put it back with the flock and it's doing well.
Week 4: They're fully feathered out and ready to move outside. I finally finished my chicken tractor. You will see them in the new tractor in the below photo.
Picture of the tractor.
