    Help! Barred Rock Babies!

    They were all hatched June 10th! They are getting very big (to fast for my liking) and I breaks my heart to think about what may happen to them. All of them steer clear of me, I only have 1 hen that enjoys being touched, and even that has it's limits. I just don't know where to send them that...

    Roosters, Roosters, Roosters
