Barred Rock Chickens

Our barred rock chicks turned 2 months old yesterday, and on that day we heard a first crow! It was hilarious!...kind of a half crow, is this what I'm supposed to do, kind of sound.  Today, as we were doing our rounds, feeding the animals, another cock-a-doodle-do!  Not sure if it's the same rooster trying to make himself heard or if it's a different guy...nonetheless, it's cute!

Has anyone considered getting their own backyard chickens?!  They are inexpensive, keep bugs under control, fertilize your lawn and give you eggs!  And they're super pets...our kids love their chickens!  

Their growth in 8 weeks is amazing...
