I have 6 Barnies, they did start laying at about 28 weeks, but that is not an issue with me. Most of my poultry did. They don't lay the really dark eggs, but they are large, dark brown and some...

Groups one and two are now out in the shed with a heat lamp, put them all togather with the others that are being brooded, so going on the second week and third week on the frowth of the meaties, the other birds large fowl birs range from age 3 week ( production reds ) 4 weeks ( jersey giants, Buff orpingtons ) and 5 weeks ( welsummer, easter egger cockrel and one welsummer x easter egger pullet)

This mixture will be the bases for my crossbred meat type bird, that will hopefuly lay decent and mature fairly fast, I am hoping that one or two of the meaty females will grow slow enough to add to the mix.

I would love to see pictures and hear about everyone elses meaties and their meaty bird projects.
