The birdies have gotten to almost their full size, which is about 7 pounds. Their feet are very strong and sharp. They are less tame now, but still come for their food. Whenever we open the top of the tractor to fill their feeder and water, they fly up and perch on the cross bars. We've been moving the tractor about every 3rd day, and the first places we had them have beautiful new grass. I even saw an article on Yahoo about how Kansas farmers are trucking in chicken "litter" from Oklahoma for their fields because nitogen fertilizer is really expensive and the litter is extremely high in nitrogen! It will be great for the compost heap!
"Here, Buffy!"
Our pretty girls! The dogs like to play with them too! And actually the birds run to the tractor when the dogs come out. Kristl puts her nose up to the wire and gets pecked at least once a week. It's quite a show because then she gets in the play pounce stance and "talks" (which is a funny howl actually)
