Well, sebright are tiny lil suckers too, smaller than most bantams. I'd be keeping this dude too, but he's got the wrong comb and I can't breed him because of that
The processed Cornish hen in the store is larger looking than my sebright that is currently running around. He's still got a bit of growing to do, but not much.
Might be better under Meat birds, but most of these certainly are no meat breeds, and it's more or less managing the flock too.
16 weeks is when birds start to develop the hormones that make them tougher when cooked, right? Or do smaller birds get them sooner?
I'm trying to figure out when...
