The chickens are growing so fast! The broilers will be ready for slaughter soon. The chicken tractor has worked out well for them and they are thriving. The layer pullets outgrew their small run and have been moved to a larger area, complete with roosts and nest boxes, though it will still be a few months before they start laying eggs. Once they are well established in the new home, they can be turned out to range in the yard, and will be shut up at night to protect them from predators.
