Sweet!! That is a great hatch rate. Thanks for the culling tips. Here's a female at one month. here is a male the same age of the female above. two males on the right, and a female on the left. here is a pair at 9 weeks.

I always see what you are speaking of here. By 3 to 4 weeks, genders are obvious, no in-betweens or questionables. No surprises, either. I guess this is a good thing. Congratualations on your hatches. What are the deal breakers in your cockerels that you are culling for at this age?

redandalusian Thanks for the response. That is very interesting about the weights. This is the first time I've gotten solid feedback on weights other folks are getting on their birds. That's a real nice Minorca in your avatar, I can tell that she has some size to her. I looked at your...

Here are some of my White Faced Black Spanish- large fowl. I am in Virginia. I have a few of last years pullets and a cockerel available if anyone is interested. I have been working with them for a few years now.

That male is really nice. How old is he and do you know (ballpark) how much weighs? Would you say that he has enough flesh that he could be used for meat? My birds are lacking in the size department. Hard to believe these should weight 8 lbs. They are complicated, as there are some with...
