Noll's Red Meat Makers

Sure I can get some live weights- and from what I understand its about 2/3 live to dressed? so can guess dressed weights from that- they are going to be processed at 11.5 weeks. Humongous is when I pick them up and they are really heavy

! Probably 6 pounds live or over. If they are that would give you a 4 pound dressed bird.

From my experience the live to dressed ratio is:
Live minus 1 lb
Then x 80%

ok! interesting- well I did manage to get a few weighed- this weekend they were 10.5 weeks and one of the larger males was really close to 6.5 pounds, a female was 4.5 (I only have 6 females and I am keeping them all). So, large males would be about close to 4.5 dressed. yikes!

ok checking in with processing details- I dont have my pics yet I took from hubby's phone, but the dressed weights ranged from ~4.25 to 5.5# (all males) at 11.5 weeks. And they look great! I can get back on flavor later- I didnt have enough to keep any for ourselves thanks to all the losses I had
