Thank you!!! Great to know. I'm just starting to learn what is best for us also. Our first batch of CX were 8.5 pounders and really, it's a bit big. I couldn't even roast one because the skin would be burning while the inside was raw. I'm finding that I really like a 5-6 lb bird since that's...

I know! How crazy is that! Good to know! I figure if I processed him today at about 4 lbs, he'd be around 3 lbs dressed. How was eating those chickens in the 2 lb range? How many could a chicken that size feed?

Unfortunately this won't cut it, because someone could call the city on me. We have a rooster ban. But tbh the city probably has much more important things to attend to than a rooster. I don't want to risk losing my flock though.

Not the best pics ever, but they are very skittish. I think I somehow only have one female in the group. All but one have some pretty serious comb/wattle development going on. I weighed the largest one, which I'm assuming is the one that crowed. He was 3 lbs, 13 oz. Almost 4 lbs at 5 weeks...

Good idea. Yeah my immediate neighbors are very understanding of the chicken noises coming from my yard, but it's such a close neighborhood that I think having a real loud crow would be a lot to expect them to put up with. I like the idea of saying I am going to relocate him though. Yeah, I am...

That's a good way to think of it. He is probably about Cornish hen size right now. I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow. Today ended up being real busy. Good idea. Meyer is very responsive so I'll give them a call. And thanks for the ideas! I actually was just feeding them some mackerel the...

Well, this is something I did not plan for. I've only raised CX in the past and have never had anyone crow before processing day. This morning, I go out to feed and water my nearly 6 week old Rainbow Rangers (Meyer Hatchery) and someone is trying to crow! It's that baby crow that isn't too loud...
