We did our chicken health check: weight, band size, vent, feet. It has been about a month since the last one. I meant to do it sooner, but it was either hot, or we were tired. I don’t want to overly handle the chickens when it is hot to avoid overheating (especially since our “feels like” temperature is consistently getting into the 100s). And since it is a two person job, doing it tired leads to grouchiness.

The chickens are growing well (Magic is the largest at 1315 grams, or 2.9 pounds). Their vents are clean, their feet look healthy, and we only needed to change out a few bands.

I did figure out how to change the colors on the series in my chart, so now the colors match the leg bands on the chickens, which really helps me to read the chart!
