I seen a thread on another site that brought up an interesting solution to the useage of culls. This fella said to grind them up and freeze the ground meat and bone and put it into freezer bags. I did do an EBAY search and found this machine

I got one at our local Goodwill store and bought it for $7 and some change about 5 years ago.

Nice looking bird Chris...but he might look better with a pea comb

Na, That would just make him look like the other Red colored bird...

I was quite surprised on the size of this birds chest, now he doses have his head pulled back some and in turn makes his chest look bigger but he still has a large chest.

This is his sire and this bird has Single Comb in his breeding. A Denny Myers /Dick Horstman cross.

This is his (the single comb rooster) Dam. She is from Dick Horstman.

I got to meet Dick at Shawnee. I transported some Barred Rock Bantams for our 4H club's VP. Dick inspected them for us and gave his opinion. Seeing that they were from Dick's eggs, I was not suprised that he liked them. I like the look of the RC RIR. But will stick with our Buckeyes.

What is his weight?

Quote:
The last weight I had on him (around Oct. 2010) his weight was 9.3 to 9.5 and around a 22 to 24 inch bird.

how old are you punky? if i decide to order from sandhill then i will get some delawares from them(the drowns). if not then what is the big deal to you? do you have a vendetta against sandhill? are you only promoting urch hatchery birds?
