Week 2 of "Project Fried Chicken"

After a really rough start to the project, things are going much better.  I would like to extend a special thank you to Kattie's sister Melissa for helping us figure out why our chicks weren't surviving.  Once we got things figured out in the brooder, things have gone very smooth.  The chicks are over twice the size they were when we got them.

Another addition to our little flock in the past week was my boss' rooster.  He was being too aggressive with his little kids, so he gave him to me for a little while so that we can have some eggs to hatch out and replace our older hens.  We have affectionately named him Vern.  Vern gives us a little wake up call outside our window each morning.  Lucky for us the time changed recently so that Vern isn't waking us up too early.
