any new pics? Have you figured out who're roos and not?

I put a frozen gatorade bottle inside their 1 gallon waterer, and periodically put ice in their "chicken pool." It's just a big plate. When they hear the ice hit the water they come running! Lol

They weren't practical. I wanted to go on vacation. They poop everywhere. The neighbors were starting to notice. Most people thought I was nuts for having them. I guess this is one of those times where you realize what's really important to you and what makes you happy... Thinkin I should...
