Three Months of Growth

It's three months already and they are starting to look more meaty.  They are a united flock, with pecking order and outliers. There are some that always hold back a bit until the brave ones check out the situation first.  The same three or four are "in the coop" first and the same two or three are the last to proceed in.  It's an interesting group dynamic.  Since we only had four, last year, we didn't see this quite as much, or we kind of assumed that it was just their "personalities."  And, well, I guess it still is, but seems more pronounced, two fold. 

The color bands are still fitting, but we will need to switch them out soon. Two more months and they will be egg layers.
