Haha, I know what you mean! I am still rummaging around craigslist to try and find some hens that are laying already. My rooster is being very patient so far. He has been dancing for the girls like crazy though.

I think they are....4 weeks old. They were born April 7th if I am not mistaken.

Anyone know of any good swap meets in texas that are 1-2 hours from DFW? I have never been to one and I figure it is a good place to go and fins chickens or sheep.

I have heard about these guys in orientation but was still surprised when I rounded the corner and saw them

I don't know how 4 week old chickens are supposed to look, but my sex links have a lot of their feathers and they where hatched approximately on 4/7. I haven't ever seen chicks like yours at their age (only fully grown)so I can't answer the question. However, I can say it's a great learning experience to see different breeds at different stages.

Yes, sticking with just 3 for now. The plan is to pick up a couple more when egg production begins to decline. Then just buy replacements, 2 or 3 at a time. My goal is to limit the flock to 5 or 6. Yeah, the wife is already talking about wanting more lol.

Oh boy, so you've never heard of Chicken Math!?! You are gonna want to build that hen house alittle bit bigger!;-) the Mantra here is build way bigger than you ever think you could possibly need. We'll help you fill it up. Lol
