Why do they have to grow up so fast??

The chicks are already feathering! They have quite a few of their wing feathers already!!! The broilers are getting HUGE! I hope it gets nice out sooner than later!!! I need to take out the non-broilers--they are noticeably smaller, and are the last to eat and drink... and they get to live through the summer. (I'll put them out with the other chickens as soon as it warms up, in a kennel, until everyone gets to know each other a little better.)



We were advised to put in something for the ducks to be able to hide in---see how much they like it?? I am starting to get a little concerned about 10 more ducks...


I find this amusing--I am taking these pictures from my chair in front of the computer. :) See, you can raise poultry, even in small spaces! We originally had the ducks on top of the chicks, but they make such a mess, so, this works, too. Just for fun, the picture below is my immediate right :) Office/basement/laundry/brooder :) You just have to use your imagination. "Heaven, too, is our creation, all that's required is imagination!"
