I wish she could be a pet too….
She’s always been mine!
I guess the main reason I was so hesitant to crate her off, or cull myself, was because she’s always had such a spunky personality, and I would kinda hate to see her go.
She received the endearing title of “Fat Chick”. That has always been...
Yes, she has been free fed chick starter/grower. I never invested in broiler feed, but she’s gotten pretty huge on what I have given her.
Thank you! If the meat ends up being too tuff, we could always do a stew!
Hello everyone,
I know this is an old thread….
But I have questions.
I accidentally bought a CX chick.
She is 16 weeks old, and healthy.
Is this too late to process?
I was never planning to venture down the meat road….
Thank you!
I actually don’t know the proper time to process….
If it was supposed to be 8 weeks, than she is twice that age.
Do you know what would have been the appropriate age?
I guess I could always google it…
Now, she is HUGE. Probably well past the processing date, and I don’t think I can cull a girl.
What I am looking for, is you guys to tell me how much you think I can sell her for on Marketplace.
She is 16 weeks old, and 14ish pounds.
Hey y’all,
In May, I bought 3 Leghorns.
By the time they were 5 days old, I knew this one was different.
Looks like she turned out to be Cornish Cross.
You can see right here, that she is already bigger than the others:
Here she is at 4 weeks old:
Here she is eating across from her “Leghorn...
Yeah, I just went over the pics again, I think everyone is right about pullets. Even I was thinking that…. I was just saying that IF Kailcar had a boy, it would be that one.
This is Laura, a sweet 5 week old pullet.
Welsummer//RIR cross.
Laura is small for her age. She is an attention hungry little girlie.
Hatched by a mean broody, adopted by a sweet one.🥰🥰
Definitely a favorite around here!
I sold a 6 week old pullet to a friend.
She is going on 17 weeks now, and my friend is concerned that it’s a boy.
I’m pretty convinced that it’s a girl.
What do y’all think?
This is the only picture she sent me:
