That coloring is different. Are you going to cull or let them grow out?

Those chicks no feathers on the legs but the last bunch I had a few with feathers on the legs its hit and miss out of that pen. Yes I wish I knew what they will look like full grown and molted into adult plumage. I like the look just don't know what it is never seen a splash like these before.

I know I have seen barrels like this out on craig's list here in WI but not sure what size they are. Wish I could send you some of our weather today- sunny but very windy so on the chilly side.

What is the thing you call "sunny"?

we don't see it very often these days but it sure feels good when it is out, I think it is a very hot star

Yes if only because they are unique and I want to see how they finish

I bought about three hundred of these 55 gallon barrels from a man up in Flint for $6 each deliverd. There is another man around Chelsea that sells them, These were used for a Pop additive of some kind.

Interesting! THere used to be a Coke factory in Flint, many years ago. Wonder if that's where they'd come from. I'll have to do some looking. Thanks, Don!

Don I can get blue and those white barrels you think the white ones are better? I know the black ones get hot but those I use for egg boxes the hens love them they didn't like using the white ones for egg laying....and like Mel I'm interested in knowing how you water them? Use the cage waterers? It gets hot here but I have a shady spot that I could use....
