Chicken update: cockerels, molting

To ease up on the space inside the chicks' growing coop, I let the five Red Sex Link cockerels out into the run.



"Hen pecked" is an accurate description in this case.

I plan to let the bantam cockerels out soon as well, but first I need to reinforce the fence. There are holes just big enough for the tiny bantams to get through.

The older ladies are molting. The Black Australorp in particular looks embarrassing.
