We played musical chick tractors this morning, moving Beardie and the pullets into the bigger tractor, the two barred/mottled cockerels into the old dog crate (our original tractor!), and the three remaining cockerels into the triangle tractor. The two in the dog crate have a date with destiny (and likely
dumplins) come Sunday or Monday. I am going to try the
milk-soaked scratch experiment with these two, since the previous two Cornish-Rocks were a bit too old to be able to tell much (plus my neighbor feeds her chickens differently than we do).

Finally, a few chick pics, since I have had these cute little monsters for a week now.
