The guy at JM seems to have it figured out what people are looking for. I ordered a batch of 50 Red Bro's from him this week. I intend to order some greys when he gets them too. Thank god someone stepped up to fill the gap!

I usually send them in when the largest one in the flock is 10 lbs live weight. That seemed to give me 3.5-6.0 range. It was generally around 9 weeks.. but, I'm not counting weeks as much as I am monitoring their live weight.

I just ordered a batch of 50 Red Bro's from JM Hatchery for the 21st of May. I'll let you know what I think.

I'm sure they'll be searched and asked to show their papers. Hey, they're shipping to Washington, I can't imagine they wouldn't Texas. Hoffman hatchery freaked out and said they would not ship to Oregon, and in a rather non-customer friendly manner from the tale I received from a friend.

We call our incubator "a science experiment that ends in a good meal". Of course, the only science experiments we like better are those that end in alcohol.

JM stated that the Golden was also a Hubbard bird, even though I don't see it on the Hubbard website. I've also e-mailed Hoffman to determine if the Silver/Gray is from the Hubbard differentiated growth line. I'll let you know what I hear. p.s. Awesome info!

OK. I have been spending today reseraching alternatives to Cornish Crosses. Thanks to some tips from Abundant Life Farm, here is what I can report: 1) The Freedom Ranger lines were indeed created from Hubbard parent lineage. They come out of the "differentiated growth" line in their...
