Chickens Growing Like Weeds
All this years chickens are growing like crazy. Many are almost full size.
The first batch is thirteen weeks old and the second batch is 10 weeks old. In the picture, you can see my last year hens and in the background you can see this years chickens in the fenced room. As you can see, they are just about the same size.
So far I still only have one rooster crowing and he crows all day long. You can see him sitting higher than the rest on his water container. He faces the neighbor right next to us and starts at 4 am. They must love us. 
I think I have about seven roosters all together but one can never be sure until they all start crowing. The Barred Plymouth Rocks are hard to tell because the hens have full combs and are almost as large as the roosters.
The little banties are starting to grow but not very much. They are going to be quite small. They are not as pretty as the large chickens but I am hoping they will grow out to be better looking. I will have to get some pictures for you to see.
Thats all from the chicken coop for now.
