But I have chosen Green as my Blue Australorp finalist and Red will join Yellow and Black on the "for sale" list so he will be put into the bachelor pen tonight.
Yellow, on the outside of the fence, is making himself a strong candidate for a immediate pot of soup because despite having all his flight primaries and the secondaries on one wing clipped he had flown out of the bachelor pen 3 times already this morning.
At this point I've left him be. If a predator gets him before I feel like chasing him around in below-freezing weather again that's his problem not mine.
I'd cook him right now, but I am not set up for butchering at the moment.
