How much per chick, straight run or sexed, and minimum number of chicks needed to ship to CO? I can put them with my ac & haffies.

 

[maranfarmer563]

Started straight run 5.00,8 in a box plus shipping

 

[maranfarmer563]

I probably can sex them, pretty close

I will have to think about it Maranfarmer563 and see what my finances look like, but atm I only have money for the 6 ayam cemani chicks from kerstiens.

I took pictures of my black meat project chickens today

These are my ac from kerstiens that are from mike bean's non Smithsonian line.

Well anyway, i've decided to not sell and just process my Smithie roo today. Not very dark at all, grey-blue color skin, light grey meat, organs, bones, connective tissues etc are dark. It's very lanky, small breast and legs, not very much fat and looks pretty lean, except a little bit towards the butt part. I would say live weight is about 5-6 lbs and dress out to maybe about about 3.5-4lbs with bones still intact?

Only 8 white bresse hatched to ship instead of 12

How old was your roo bluenkimchi when you processed him? I added 6 more ac & haffies yesterday. Bringing me 12 ac/haffies.

 

[bluenkimchi]

6 months, could've fill in more with 2 more months and higher protein feed
