    Pro's and Con's, Breed Choice

    Thanks Sydney.. Wow... 26 weeks !!!! Maybe I'll just get some CX to fill my freezer and cull my Dorkings at 6 months. 26 weeks makes sense while I look out and see my 16 week hens and think to myself that there isn't much meat there.

    I have had Dorking hens for 2 years and love all the eggs - I now want to buy some for meat. I really love Dorkings but they grow slowly. Would I wait to butcher them until about 16 weeks or would they be too tough? Does anyone here raise Dorkings for meat? Thanks,
