coloradohunter44Almost springtime..new baby chicks
It's that time of the year to freshen up the flock with some new chicks. What have you folks added to your collection recently? This is their first time out in the sunshine while it warm enough for them to enjoy it.

They are Jumbo Pharaoh Coturnix. They'll top out at about 16 ozs. in 10 weeks. They'll start laying at about 6-7 weeks. Usually butcher at about 8 weeks @ 14-15 ozs.
