More Free Chickens

I am starting to realize that free chickens can be addictive.  Yesterday I saw an ad on Craigslist for free chickens.  The guy just wanted to get rid of them, because he had more than he could handle.  When I got there, he had cochins and golden laced wyandottes left.  They were in terrible shape, and had no food or water on a 90 degree day.  I ended up with 10 more chickens.  They are about 3 months old, so they are out of the brooder stage, thank goodness.

Since all the poultry I have now is straight run, I am hoping I will have about 10 hens at the end of the day.  The roosters will have to be very nice, or they will end up in the stewpot.
