The chickens in pictures

A pictorial presentation of the mob at the end of week 5/beginning of week 6.  We're over half way, only 3 weeks left until the freezer.  We're not sure on the current average weight but they all seem robustly healthy and are gaining weight at a steady pace.  Thus far all seem active and mobile.

The almost-pet - she's spending more time in the garage (because she's LOUD) and occasional time with the rest of the mob.  She's about 1/2 the size of the smaller chickens in the flock.

Feeding time -it's a frenzy with chickens jumping over and crawling under others to get to the grub.

Though cornish rock cross aren't known for their grazing, the mob seems to have figured it out.

The lawn after the mob has been on it for 24 hours.  We're hoping the addition of chicken "fertilizer" and some grass seed will help this section overcome the moss and dandelions.
