    My Attempt at a Dual Purpose Heritage Flock

    Here I've been struggling to "clean up" the birds in by project, and your pictures above make clear how much my (currently) best roos look like a run of the mill NH... Very useful photos - the first look like I remember my Rainbows looking, next to a Cx at about 10 days... That size difference...

    I think your project is well ahead of my own. Much congratulations on your progress. Also, voicing my agreement with @B and K Homestead , @peepdaddy and the like re: pictures. I take pictures to share on facebook with friends and family of my animals most days, and have maybe a dozen good...

    I'd happily use a bird like this in my Culling project. Is a real good looker, that!

    Completely agree - those NHR scream "classic chicken". Great looking examples of the breed. No naming ideas for your Delaware, and not a big jazz fan. Sorry. Apart from some Si Zentner on vinyl, never really got into brass. His "Peter Gunn theme" rendition was damned good though (That's the...

    My last comment, so as not to hijack. Its entirely possible that I do so simply to massage my ego? The one which requires double doors on a building so i can bring it in with me??? Now. Back to @Tre3hugger 's birds. I'm looking forward to seeing the next generation.

    I'm not normally a kind or giving person. You earned those words.

    Those are phenomenal numbers - your processed weights are my live weights, plus 4-6 weeks. Very attractive carcasses, btw. Hat off, nicely done.

    Those are great numbers - beats my best bird so far (Big Barred at 6.5#, approx 17 weeks). Very impressed with what you've got going there. Also love that you use your daughter for reference on size of birds. Love the photos.

    My Attempt at a Dual Purpose Heritage Flock

    @Charlie D @Tre3hugger I appreciate you both, and whatever records you share. BYC knows I've been lax on my own record keeping. Can't even tell what age some of my flock is at this point. :( But some are under four months and visibly bigger than my Brahma hens from last April - (though...

    Should read @MysteryChicken 's thread on the Project Wheten Crele Orps, too. Orps can get big, and tend towards better than average maturity, so those are both plusses on the "meat" column of a good 2P bird. OTOH, they aren't famed layers, and put a lot of energy into feather development you may...

    I just used this thread as an example of what to do for another poster considering a dual purpose, sustainable flock. Hope you don't mind. I both linked and credited.

    I am definitely following this. Thank you. Completely different (and, superior, thinks I) approach to my own project. Glad you were able to start with the birds you wanted, and clearly did your homework in selecting the breeding lines.
