We got more chickens. This time a few cute layers along with 20 meat chickens. The meaties rapidly got disgusting looking. They are fat, dont' get around well, and poop all the time. Exciting. Apparently that is their job. We refer to them as the "fatties" because they get so big so quick. Right now they are in a baby pool on the bar but will be moving outside today! We'll see how the processing goes. They dress out at 5lbs. in 6-8 wks. That is very fast in the chicken world since it takes a layer about 4-5 months to begin laying. I don't think I'll have a problem killing them just out of mercy!
