Such a pretty mix! So 1 male and 10 females, that sound perfect.
I won't be pressure canning right away but I will be eventually so I will be canning meats as soon as I'm confident of it.
Do keep us updated on how the Cornish X work out.
Thank you for keeping us updated. I am seriously considering this way of stocking my roaster pen. I'm particularly wondering if I can keep the cockerels long enough to get them to a reasonable size for my freezer. Please continue updating, I am really interested.
I like the idea of the surprises for breed and the which ones would turn out to be pullets. The more I think about it, a fry special would be a great way to stock my roaster coop the first time then keep a few hens and the best rooster to restock.
