Alright I did a weigh in but first let me fix an error, I said earlier that the 10 cockerels were from McMurray but they are not. There were ordered from Meyers, I got my hatcheries confused. Now onto the numbers, all of the chicks are doing great! Deer Run chicks are a bit more feathered and have some of the black patterning coming in, but both groups are very healthy.
Average Weight of Meyer Cockerels: .26 lbs
Average Weight of Deer Run Chicks: .28 lbs
These are the weights at 2 weeks with the Meyer chicks still on Purina Meat Bird and the Deer Run chicks on Chick Starter. The Meyer chicks were much more consistent on weight but I believe this is due to them being a pure cockerel order vs the straight run of Deer Run chicks.
