When I get chicks I get a batch at a time and process that batch all at the same time.These birds in this picture are all the same age.This batch happens to be straight run,but I know some offer sexing and the roos may cost another 10 cents more.I really feel IMHO it would be worth it to get all roos if you want a bigger bird.My experience with the birds that I've raised for meat is that the hens seem about 2 weeks behind once they get close to process time.When I have them processed I've seen as much as 3 lbs difference in a roo than a hen.Looking at that picture and if I'm honest about them being all the same age,wouldn't you agree there is a noticable difference in the roo and hen.
