I saw a pair of Utility Kings at the fair today. So big! And so cute!
I'll get pictures tomorrow.

Have been doing some meet and greets with the mama hen, chicks and other flock members. Taking the older hens and putting them in with mama and chicks. It has been going well, she has chased and pecked at 2 of the 6 but otherwise everyone mingles and even eat together. I think I will continue this until the weekend when they are 2 weeks old and then open up the new section so that mama can take them out into the big run area. I need to get 2 more feeders and 1 more waterer today when I go to the feed store so that there are multiple stations. Hopefully it goes well. Chicks are learning to stick closer to mama when other girls are around.
