Alternatives to Freedom Rangers

[greyfields]

They look more like Rocks than Cornish. But, having never seen any of the birds IRL it's hard to guage their size and shape under the feathers.

Would anybody have a picture they could post of a Silver Cross Grey Broiler.I'd like to see one.Being grey would the skin be a little darker than the yellow I'm used to. Will

nancy, too funny, but true.

it's like those darn eggplants. why do americans make them so big? i'm used to my native japanese eggplants which are a quarter the size and much tastier (even though they're just sponges).

in bad news, i talked to the hoffman hatchery and they said they had a bad result one time mailing chicks to texas, so they don't mail to texas. darnit!

I found the information on this page the most interesting.

You know, April, this may seem like a stretch to some, but I put that with the FR statement, and between the lines I see what happened......

OK! Found someone with the Red Bro broilers ready to sell right now, thanks to a friend:

Yankee Chicks, Inc/Hall Brothers Hatchery
P.O. Box 1026
Norwich, CT 06360
860-886-2421 or 860-608-1389
860-889-6351 FAX
Contact: Jerry Srednicki

They carry the Red Bro red broiler which will be the same as the Red Ranger Freedom Ranger. Go forth and make meat birds!

You think they will let Yankee Chicks across the Texas border????

 

[greyfields]

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.

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.
