Big enough to eat
Our second set of australorp
and marans
broilers will go in the freezer this week.
After that, we'll be down to
eight hens and a rooster until our last set of chicks hatch out at the
end of August.

Our neighbor raised more chickens then they needed, so we will recieve 5 free hens. I might butcher them and can them up in quart jars. I really don't need 5 more laying hens.
But a person can't say no to free 4-month old hens.
