We have been very happy with the growth of our color range meat birds, they are all of about the same size , and have been very healthy. We are due to butcher within 2 weeks , my question is, can I save a rooster and a few hens to keep for breeding so that I could hatch the eggs in the spring and not have to buy again ? Has anyone done this SUCESSFULLY ? I would need to build them their own pen, and don't want to go through the trouble if it won't work ! Ideas ? Suggestions ? Pictures ? Thank you !:thumbsupYou guys are great!!!
 
Keep the healthiest ones.....breed them and see what happens...but since they are hybrids I would gess they would not be as consistant, you could expect their size to very alot...
 
they are owned by the same company that owns cx birds so they have gotten the bloodlines secure. They will be all over the board on growth and weigt, but if you are wanting to for the fun of it go ahead, but you will not get what you just raised
