8 weeks 1 day

Our baby chickies (from the broody hen) are 8 weeks, 1 day old today. They are cornish hen size, like what you see in the grocery store. I plan on keeping them a bit longer. We have 2 cockerels, for sure.

Here he is in the middle (from top to bottom)


And here he is in all of his beautiful cockerel glory.



Oh HOW I wish I could keep him. He is BEAUTIFUL!!! I'll get a better pic of him on the real camera soon. This was taken with my cell and he wouldn't stay still.

Wow - they are are growing so quickly! He is a handsome chap though isn't he? I know what you mean about wishing you could keep them - Im still trying to sex my own chicks and am desperate for them to be girls so that they can stay!
