    Sorry about missing last week, I was moving into the new place. (2 acres!) Here's the girl in their new diggs, they are still scared shitless of me, but it doesn't seem to be impeding their growth. :P

    They don't look at me, they go pretty crazy just when I walk near the coup. It's gotten a LOT better since I started giving them water melon a few weeks back, but they still fly all around when I go out to check their food and water, and that is me outside of the coop reaching into it. I get in...

    Well this weeks post has me manhandling the chicks to put zip ties on their legs. They are NOT happy about it to say the least. Now we can get to naming them! Anyone have any suggestions? I have 3 left that I can name.

    We just wanted to start out with the 8 Hen's for eggs(had to order 15 though), and the roosters are showing some fighting. I wanted to start out small and if I decided in a year or two if I wanted to breed them I could purchase some more. As for the eating, the wife only concession on getting...

    Thanks. I'm really happy they all lived. So am I correct about the ones with the bigger combs being the roosters?
