I have Breese, haven't tried Dorking yet but my Breese takes 14 18 weeks to reach 4-6lb on average for pullets and 5-8 lb for males when i process them faster than most Heritage Breeds and they lay much better than my Marans or Buckeyes. Love my Breese.
For those who have processed some of there Breese how are you finishing them what kind of grains are you using? Scratch or your own mix also are you finishing with milk if so goats or cow milk?
Thank you once again, I've heard good things about these birds I have a chance to get a few, I'd love to hear how they compare to Buckeyes in the meat and laying eggs department.
For those of you who have processed these birds how old were they when you processed them and how did they compare weight wise and taste with other meat birds you've had in the past??
