They look about a week old. I love how fat and lazy they are. So cute!!Ok...I took the plunge and came home with 4 Cornish crosses from the feed store. They are most definitley fat and lazy. I have them in the brooder for now and will move them out in a bout a week after I get something set up for them. Any guesses on age?
im sure there are wild birds above the run. Or you never got them out of the coop. Either way..
Thanks! If you are on the hatchalong thread you may have already seen these but this is what Tom and I spent yesterday afternoon doing. We still have the Eastern and Southern walls to do but doesn't this look like the sort of place you might like to raise a family??
Ol flowerpot Norma has been sitting in the nest box for hours on end but then getting bored mid afternoon and joining the flock. She also has plucked some breast feathers so with any luck she will soon decide that the only thing that will make her happy is to become a mama...then I hope the fever will spread through the coops.
The other day Jamie Lee Curtis decided to audition for the roll of hood ornament
Very Nice!Look what showed up here!

Thanks! I have never had meat birds before so didn't know if they "age" the same. Have to make sure I stay unattached from them. I will be reviewing processing videos and info....
I do. Bought the green shade cloth at Home Depot and my husband cut it into panels and attached it to metal rods so it hangs nice and I can roll it up or down easily. It breaths but keeps the rain from blowing into my pens. I then used foundation stakes to hold it out from the sides of the pens for airflow.
