1 green, 3 brown as of 2 PM. + 1 brown.

The RI Red that was looking poorly died. So there are 6 Cornish X, 3 RI Red, and 1 black plumed chick of unknown provenance still.

Order for week of May 12:
11 Cornish Roasters (CR)
7 Cornish X Rock (CX)
4 Barred Rock (BR)
3 Rhode Island Red (RI)

If all of the next order survives the flock will be:
13 CX, 11 CR (meat birds for slaughter starting 6/22, then July 13, and July 27 for the roasters)
6 RI, 4 BR (+ 2 araucaunas from existing flock).

New flock will be segregated from existing flock until full grown. And existing flock will still be getting slaughtered during May/June (down to 7 birds week of 6/22, 5 birds 7/13, and 3 7/27)
