I can't wait to get these things into the yard and out of my garage. They're a lot of work. They pretty much just eat, drink, and sleep. I can see why they are the bird of choice for meat.
I fill their feeder and waterer every night before I go to bed. When I get up in the morning they are both empty. I've actually had to refill their water after just 4 hours!
Up to this point I've been moving them between the tub and the cage. That way I can clean one while they're in the other. Unfortunately they've gotten too big for that. They don't all fit comfortably in either. So I split them up. I put 8 chicks in the tub and 7 in the cage. This also allows me to double the amount of water and food accessible.
They sure aren't the prettiest breed of chicken.
