Chicks All Grown Up

A few weeks ago we lost another of our big chickens, this time to a couple of dogs running loose through our neighborhood. They somehow managed to dig under our back fence into the coop, killed one, and terrified the other two. Luckily the batch of new "chicks" we got back in February were in their own re-inforced pen so didn't get eaten. But they're not chicks anymore - now they're full on chickens! At four months they're not quite ready to lay, but we're going to combine them with our two remaining big chickens very soon and we should have 8 laying hens by August!
