Lazy lazy roosters

[txchickie]

I have 3 barred rock roo's (Ideal packing peanuts) and oh my gosh these are the LAZIEST creatures I've ever seen. They're 8 weeks old and huge (or huge compared to my bantams) and they do nothing but crash out on their sides in the shade only to get up to drag themselves to the feeder a few times a day

Am I just used to my scrappy little cracked out bantams?

I swear they never sit still, always up running around the yard looking for bugs and yummies to eat, etc...these 3 BR roo's are just lumps

And it's not that hot either! Could there be something wrong with the 3 of them? Honestly I don't know why I still have them or what I'll do with them, but I'm just feeding the heck out of them just so they can lay down on a permanent vacation

They're just babies. They'll cowboy up soon enough.
My roo is currently very busy trying to figure out how to get in the yard (with the hens). I locked the gate instead of leaving it open as usual and he's too fat to fit thru the openings.

My roosters are always chasing the females. I put the females in a large pen and now the roosters are standing outside the pen, looking in, and hoping they can get into the pen or the girls can come outside to play. I hope to give a lot of the roosters to a relative this weekend.
