We've won grand 2 years in a row with broilers from Whelp.

Our tom ended up being 38lbs. I have a pan (barely!) but need suggestions for times and temp to cook this beast. Any ideas?

I've orderd from Whelp for a while now and have never had a problem. I'd call Monday and ask them. There may have been a mixup with the labels and you have the wrong order.

At our fair the broilers. Have to be 8wks old. You can reach 5lbs in 5 weeks. The last 2 years we have had birds over 9lbs at fair time (8wks). Our birds are on the ground in movable pens. I don't add any extras to their feed but since our fair is in the fall it is hot so I have a fan on the...

Quote: No secrets. We have a 35lb feeder that we fill. I don't pull the feed out because around here when the sun goes down it is DARK. No light pollution so the birds go to sleep and not eat half the night. Non-medicated turkey and gamebird starter, water, and moving the pen to clean ground...

Quote: 1100.00 Awesome! I thought Thr $600 we got last year was awesome. I was almost in tears this year when the bid kept going up. I couldn't believe it.

Yea. That is the picture from the paper. My husband has the camera with him at work so that's the only one I hve at the moment.

Ok. Let's see if this works. The kids are so thrilled. The bird sold at auction for $1100.00.

My youngest won with her broiler at our fair this year. Last year my oldest won the same class. We are so happy right now. I think we are going to get a tub plucker with part of the sales money. I'll try to post a pict soon. I'm on my phone right now, my loving hubby killed my laptop with a...

Quote: Just wait until they are bigger. Then kitty will be running from them.

I've never used Meyer but we always get our birds from Whelp. We've done very well with them both here at home(layers) and in 4-H(broilers). They were HUGE! We could have butchered at 5 1/2 weeks but had to wait until 8 weeks because of the fair.

Whelp for us too. We won grand champion with one last year at our fair. It was the best $600 fried chicken I've ever had.
