I have some Delawares from a hatchery. I know these birds are not likely to be great meat birds but I'm trying to gauge where the weight should be on a good meaty Delaware at this age.

The average weight between the cockerel and the pullets is about 1lb 6oz.

Is this a decent weight at 6 weeks or way too light to be a useful meat bird? I'm thinking they are usually processed around 12-16 weeks.
