@Hannahnic14 That sounds like a pretty good weight without boiler feed. How many eggs are they laying approximately? Do you have to put them on a special diet now that they're full grown?
I'm sure too with selective breeding the weights will increase. Home hatched birds always seem to be...
I'm pretty new to meat birds, besides the handful of cornish x I raised through 4-H for county fair 9 years ago lol. I will probably try them in the spring, they can't possibly grow out worse than my extra roosters I plan to harvest this year.
Has anyone raised the Delaware broiler birds from McMurray? I'm looking for a sustainable type meat bird for next year. They seem to be a good fit for what I'm looking for but I can't find much on them besides the handful of reviews.
