Picking up chicks

Our order of 30 duel propose meat chicks came in on June 22nd with 2 extra. They were so cute and little. I know they wouldn't stay like that for long. Right now they are about 2 weeks old, almost covered in real feathers and are running around in a pen in my laundry room. They are going to have to go outside soon as I am getting sick of the smell and bust. We are planing to slaughter them ourselves so we can learn how. We have some extra hands to help so I think we should be OK. We are going to let them grow for about 11 weeks so that brings the big day to around mid September.
We unpacked then, showed them where the water and food was and left them to grow big and fat! So far things have been going very well and we hope that continues.
