Jerry, do you think the cross birds you raised go to the same carcass size as the commercial broiler? It obviously took longer in the home bred ones but I am curious as to the actual final result. I don't care if they take longer, if they still get to be a fairly massive carcass I will be quicker to try this too. By comparison to your rooster, assuming he is a good sized rooster, your white hens look a fair amount bigger than my Mcmurray rocs.

Commercial Broilers used by meat producers had sublines which introduced genes from a wide variety of breeds, geneticists on staff and insane selection on an enormous quantity of fowl. It being that big on one cross would be nothing short of miraculous
