    We raised 34 of 35 Cornish X for our son, lost one at a week old. He took them for processing yesterday at 10 weeks old. They are eating machines, eat, drink, poop! Our luck with them has been very good and we have them in outdoor coop ( -10 degrees C. this month) other than water freezing no...

    Rhode Island Red cockerels ... mmmm

    Well, our 3 cockerels are 20 weeks old, 6.5 lbs and didn't find a home. One got a reprieve and gets to live with an 86 year old gent who lost his rooster. His two brothers are now cooling in the fridge for a couple days and then to decide on how to cook them. Can't keep too many cockerels so...

    Good to know about the darkening, thanks. Not much for diverse stock here so I will likely breed him to get my numbers up. Not much culling this year with only 2 separate rooster lines

    I think my 2 Cockerels Twitch & Fidget may have too much red in the chest area. Albert is running a little light at 6 3/4 pounds too.

    Looks like you have the sex right on those 5, our group of 6 Partridge Chanteclers are looking like 2 pullets/4 cockerels at 12 weeks. the 8 at 4 weeks are still too hard to sex.

    I had a similar Roo encounter. He was going to be culled but not at 13 weeks until he decided my wife's Cuckoo Silkie Roo Pretty Boy became a target for the aggression. He also decided all the young pullets were his to abuse. So like you, it was freezer camp time and a visit to the relaxing land...
