Rhode Island Red Hen x Light Sussex Cockerel?

Thanks for the updates ejay. Did you breed any more of this cross?

What age did do butcher them at? Were they worth butchering at around 18 weeks, or did they put most of their meat on after this age.

That link by karen is not working anymore.

thanks.

Here is my boy! "Red" as we have been calling him. He is a beauty and is going to be big like his daddy which is in the background.

Looks awesome. How old is he bally? And could you get a live weight for him at this age? Thanks.

Hi no we did not breed any more of them but I must say they made quite a good table bird at about 4 months old I do not recall the weight though and we did not really feed for the table.Good thing is though with those white based feathers they were real easy to pluck. Also had yellow skin.
