Oh my gosh they are huge!!! What breed were they? I had orpington roosters and we butchered them but ugh they had nothing. Just feathers and bones.
These were Cornish cross meat birds. I was experimenting and trying to keep them long enough to try to breed them and outcross them to make my own, sustainable meat flock. These two boys were just too big and cumbersome to have any chance of breeding. I still have 2 pullets and 1 cockerel that are looking promising and are coming of age. We'll see what happens!
