4 week fryers




Well here are the beasts a little over 4 weeks. I forgot to shoot on Thursday. They started stinking pretty bad in the house, so I moved them outside where they belong. They were most of the way into their new feathers, so it was time. I swept out one of my grain bins, put down some shavings, and through in my monster feeders. So far the bin has been quite ideal for a coop. It didn't cost me anything, and the chickens seem to like their new home. I took a shot from above through an access hole, so you can see the layout of the bin a little better. I think the birds are edible sized now actually. The Cornish game hens you buy in the store are just really young broilers like these.

Nice, I noticed you are wearing the Berkeley shirt. Keep up the slaughter and war on snow.
