They are broilers. We will process them in about 6 weeks time. They live in the house for 2 weeks just because they can't handle the cold yet, and then they move out to a pretty large coop/run. They usually like to peck and play around for the first while outside but by the last 2 weeks they are really lethargic and I have to get them out of the coop a couple times a day by shooing them, just so that they keep getting a bit of exercise and fresh air otherwise they'd just lay by the food all day long. They are also really prone to heat exhaustion, which I didn't know before we got them the first time. The dead of summer was a bad time to get them that's for sure! I had to be misting them with water many many times a day just to keep them cool and we had a big fan going, but really what they would have needed was some A/C.

Best luck with getting some birds, your family will thank you that's for sure!
