Meat birds STINK!  And DRINK!  And EAT!  And DRINK!  And did I mention STINK??!!!  BLECH! ... I cannot wait for these beasts to GO OUTSIDE!!  I wish they would feather in faster.  They're 2 weeks old and I'm on my last gag reflex.          

Ummmmm. My meaties were outside at 2 weeks back in mid may. Get em out!!!!

My computer won't let me make the picture bigger, but I would guess swallowtail or sulfur butterflies. You can google them.

Raz, good luck.

I do not think it is a horn worm or tomato worm. I tend to agree with the butterfly caterpillar

Raz, all the best. It's not a horn worm, unless they look very different when immature (if a caterpillar can be immature?). See you all Saturday! Mary

Ok, here are some body pictures. I didnt really know what I was supposed to be looking for/taking photos of, sorry! Hopefully you can help me figure this out

My first thought was cockerel. Good luck RaZ!

Me too- see the tail starting to curl? The "saddle" feathers are the cushion of feathers at the top of the tail where it meets the back. Hens have a poof of stubby ones; roos look skimpy then long skinny pointy ones start shooting up.

Yep, tomorrow is the railroad to the kangaroo court.

Best of luck RaZ! Will be thinking positive thoughts! No negative energy!
