In the Brooder
Have had chickens for a few years, but this is the first year we have had a rooster, it adopted us from a garden a few doors away. I guess he fell in love, anyway his lady love hatched one single chick, a gorgeous little boy who is now 5 weeks old and weighs 100g, having started out at 19g. Mum did her duty to hatch him then didn't want to know.
Anyway he is thriving in our windy climate although spends most of the tome indoors yet. It's a lovely place to raise poultry as there are no foxes to do the worst, just the odd feral cat who is rapidly dispatched if caught.
