I kind of thought 'meaties 101' would have more than just cx's. What about other meat birds? How long to grow them out?
20-24 wks. You can go much longer if you want them bigger or just want to fix what your going to eat. I've had my best thanksgiving with 3 non meat roosters (Hamburgs) at 8 months old. Some of the Amish down the road from me have the x-rocks. They started eating 2 at a time then went to 1 after they got bigger. Getting about 200 at a time. They free ranged with limited feed to keep them from crippling.
