2 brown (1S,1L)

The pullets are getting close to the size of the laying hens. They seem to forage, scratch, etc as a separate group from the older birds.

Rooster tends to stay with the older birds. From behavior I'd say he was 3 months old wen he was dropped off in June, making him 7 months now. In the past month he's become aggressive towards unfamiliar humans in the chicken yard, and I attribute that change with age and an associated increase in hormone production. I better be slaughtering him soon.
