Broiler Chicken Update

We finally got the broiler chickens moved out to pasture today.  Troy made another Joel Salatin-type moveable pen for them.  They seem to really like it.  They are running around, pecking at the ground and acting like happy chickens. 
 Here's another view of them at the waterer.  They drink an amazing amount of water a day...it seems to be about 10 gallons!  We have a 5 gallon waterer and it has to be filled twice a day. 
They are growing fast.  About 4 weeks to go...
