Chicken update: reinforced fencing, moving cockerels into run

My bestie Rachel came to visit and helped with many chores around the house, including finally reinforcing the two sides of the chicken run that had only 2"x4" panels. They now have hardware cloth at the bottom, extending outward to keep animals from digging in. With that done, I moved all the bantam cockerels out of the chick coop and into the run itself. The size difference between the bantams and standards is astounding.

One of the straight run "Black Japanese" chicks has turned out to be an Old English Game cockerel, probably a Black Breasted Red. He is gorgeous and he will be staying unless his temperament is an issue.

Actually all the bantam cockerels are so damn cute that I'm tempted to let them stay. However I also have 3 Golden Sebrights, 2 Red Pyle Games, 1 Black Japanese, and a still-unknown number of Silkies. I need to whittle down to a few favorites.

Definitely male Blue Silkie.
