Ya I don't see why not. They might not roost though you may have to keep a spot for them on the floor. They may try though it just depends on how big they get.
They are fun to have as adults... if they are able to free range and as long as you keep them active they will be fine. They will live a couple years or more if you keep them moving.
Good luck.... I wanna see pics in like 2 months!!
I meant four.. hahah... no I think the one in the brooder house looks to be a male. You have bubba and the two females outside and I think what you call pipsqueak to be a male...
Oh boy, I thought there was light as it seems they featherd out first then put on their weight. Might have been the lower protein but needless to say you do have 5 broilers.
Are you going to keep one of the hens? I would try to process them if I was you... five nice chicken dinners. It's not...
Do you have other pics? I really don't think a couple of those are meat birds. They featherd out way to fast. if you notice you can see pink spots on bubba... the others look like leghorns or even w.rocks?
Don't know but I have had broilers that are small like those and they turned out to be...
I'm starting to think the smaller white ones may not be cornish x rock.... do you have better pics that show them a little better... I can tell that "bubba" is def a cross.
Maybe a couple of body pics standing next to bubba.... ( I just love chicken lingo! Where else can you get away with...
That's what I figured.... That's too bad but hey, you can have fresh chicken in another 4 weeks if you want?
I would def. seperate them and give them a 20% starter/grower with out medication. This way they will grow a slow healthy life.
If the weather is decent in your area the faster you...
You very well might have some big white chicks.... but I doubt it. It still is a possiblity though... Don't hold me accountable if they turn out to be white rocks!!
I didn't even notice the post count until you said something... hahah.. there is going to be a lot of upset people if they can't...

Ok.. Ok... you got me... who is the funny one!!
3 out of 4 are broilers.... The pictures of the broilers from others are probably fed a broiler feed so naturaly they are going to grow faster than yours. What are you feeding a normal chick starter?
If so this explains the difference in size, but white rocks usually don't start to flesh out...
