    Dduell2's Chicken Journey

    So we are at the end of the week. The birds are 7 weeks old today. Delta has been a great bird and has gone in and roosted at night all by himself. The last 2 nights Charlie has followed him.

    Last night I got outside a little later than normal. Halfway out I stopped in my tracks... looks like there's a gray bird on the ladder.

    Awesome thank you! I'm allowed 4 poultry per half acre up to 12, no rooster, toms, or drakes. I have 1.3 acres. We are surrounded by egress driveways. My lot is a deep rectangle and the house behind me is vacant. I have 1 neighbor that would hear him... He has chickens and a nice garden and...
