They are huge! And from what I can tell from my reading they are going to keep growing until August. They are easy to care for, the goats are still a bit wary of them. I may be losing my nerve about eating the roosters, which I am only now being able to tell apart from the hens because they are challenging each other. I am also learning they like to dig holes. Four of them refuse to go into the coop at night, they prefer roosting in the tree next to the coop.

Wow, it's like they have a penthouse apartment!
LOL, that is actually the goat house. My step-dad built it up because the goats like being up high at night (well 4 of the 5 do). The chickens have their own special coop that my FIL and the boys all built. It is tall, but not quite that tall ;)
A goat house, who knew? My education is woefully incomplete!
What a fun picture! This reminds me of my growing-up years in Minnesota...
And isn't it funny about the roosters? When they are tiny babies it seems that the males start butting chests with one another... guess it's truly a guy thing!!
Amp, I thought it was a chicken house too. lol So the chickens have taken over the goat house. :-)
