Very cool!  How long do they take to grow up to be "purposeful"?

Fryers take about 8 weeks.

Don't name them.  It makes wringing their necks a tad more difficult.

I've killed and cleaned plenty of animals, but I am a little worried about getting close to them. A couple of the hens are going to be kept to lay eggs.

I'm jealous. I would love to have chickens for fresh eggs.
