I had to take out the photo of the undetermined number of soggy chicks I have. If you think you're safe doing something, chances are mass has some law to get themselves involved in it. Stupid, stupid mass.

@Bruce I believe you wanted a picture of the barn cats. Here's one. They are both identical. I think we still have both...not sure though.

Sorry about the graininess.i had to zoom. They are still skittish.

Hard to know if you still have 2 if they are identical! Maybe put out 2 bowls with some kind of food they just can't resist and maybe you'll see 2 cats.

The extra chicks are the chicks with blue dots on their heads, are males added for warmth and are leghorns. Extra dinner or cull chicks. Mystery solved.

That is ridiculous!!!! 35 chicks do NOT need "packing peanut" chicks to stay warm in transit.
Geez, if they are giving you cockerels they could at least be a breed that has some meat on them.

...yeah, I guess there are a lot of them. I'll process them when the go for my boots whatever size that winds up being, maybe sooner.

I guess people didn't want many of these in February.

Murray McMurray Hatchery - Frying Pan Special

A smaller, lighter bird for fryers and these will fill that bill. They are white feathered, yellow skinned, light breed cockerel chicks from our White Leghorns.

They don't want them any other time of year either.

Skin and gut them when they react the appropriate size...…...what? 2 or 3 pounds?

 

[rachels.haven]

Right about!

Call them Leghorn Game Hens and you'll be all fancy!
