Do they look well filled out for 22 weeks?

Looking good.
Any before and after weights?
Possible Breeds in mix and from what hatchery?

I didn't weight them before, but I can get an after weight. The first two (in the live pic) are Easter Egger/Columbian Wyandotte and the last one is a Welsummer/Columbian Wyandotte mix. They were hatched in my incubator from my own flock.

Okay-

The Welsummer/Columbian Wyandotte (I think that's who it is) was is about 3 lbs. 5 oz.

EE/Columbian Wyandotte cockerels- one was about 3 lbs. 12 oz, and the other was about 3 lbs. 10 oz

Is that good size?

How long do they have to rest before I can cook or freeze them? I plan on cooking at least one in a crockpot on low heat.

When the joints move freely, like a store bird, rigor mortis has passed. Usually 1 to 3 days. I think they taste better at 5days but that's me
