New boys and girls

Our new chicks aren't so little anymore.  They just turned 8 weeks old this week.  We're finally sure how to distinguish the Cockerels from the Pullets, so here is what we have:

11 Cockerels (boys)
20 Pullets (girls)

When the boys get to 18 weeks old, they'll be butchered and lovingly placed in our freezer.  Dan & I gave up eating factory raised chicken about a year ago.  It's been ONE LONG YEAR without chicken.  We are as giddy as school kids about having fresh, naturally raised chicken very soon!

We haven't decided if we're going to keep 1 to become a Rooster or not.  We'll have to wait and see...............
