OK start of week #5, outside birds, 2 separate cages 3'X5' 500 watts of heat in each cage, I did add hay and hanging feeders, last picture is how they are protected from the wind-rain and cold, this is supposed to be a mild week, lows in the mid to low 40's, you can tell the difference between the hens and the roosters at this point.
Sorry no pics, upload failed...

They may have been sized wrong. 640X480 or anything close to that will work.
OK here we are at 16 weeks, I told everyone they would be mature at 16 weeks, some didn't believe me...
