    OK start of week #5, outside birds, 2 separate cages 3'X5' 500 watts of heat in each cage, I did add hay and hanging feeders, last picture is how they are protected from the wind-rain and cold, this is supposed to be a mild week, lows in the mid to low 40's, you can tell the difference between the hens and the roosters at this point.

    OK here we are at 16 weeks, I told everyone they would be mature at 16 weeks, some didn't believe me...

    Two large eggs, small "first" egg in the middle.


    Roo on the left, pullet that is probably laying on right standing.


    The 2 older hens that laid the bigger eggs, Roo standing in the egg shell supplement.

    Nice looking barred rocks! Eggs at 16 weeks is great. My kids Buffs took abouts 18 to 20 weeks.

    Real Beauties. Good luck on your sales. Our Buffs started laying first at 4 months, then 2 weeks + later the Leghorns. But now, in their second season, the Leghorns are out laying the Buffs.
    How many roosters did you end up with?
