It has been really hot here, so they are all hiding under the porch. The Dixies are about 20 weeks old (and most are laying already) and the RIRs are 7 months old - and the Dixies weigh about twice what the others do! Next year I plan to get some Dixie boys and see how they do for meat birds. I'll keep a couple of the nicest boys to start trying to breed some of my own too.
Marvelous pictures. Thanks.
