Update - Roos are getting sassy. They’re about 23 weeks old now. we’d like to keep them for another few weeks to let them continue to mature. They’re starting to be pretty disruptive in the group coop. We’re strategizing ways to segregate them. Is it OK to keep the five of them together in a 5x4 run?Hello, we have raised meat birds; but now I have some Orphington X Layer roos that are coming of age and we're looking to process them. Do you have any strategies for "fattening them up"? They look rather lean. We were considering confining the 3 of 'em to a smaller area (4x5 ft pen) and providing a broiler feed for 4 weeks. Do you think that would make a difference? Right now they are in with our flock free-ranging.
Thank you!
