Fortunately 4 out of 7 are Bantams. I think it looks like they are all RIRs because those are so much bigger. One of the Bantams is coming up on 20 weeks and is about the size of a softball. The only one that does not roost up there is the rooster. Who named them that? At night, my laying...

Just finished installing a 2x4 along the bottom of the back deck, I put two of the leaders on it to sort of let them know it's there. I hope it works. It's about 5' off the ground. Hopefully it's comfortable for their feet. They are out of the rain and above predators. I'll work on the...
