Hi peeps,
Our family is raising Kosher Kings from Meyer Hatchery for meat. We are thinking about keeping a breeding pair so that we can start hatching our own eggs. My questions are:
1. Can you breed KK's or are they the kind that get so fat that they can't breed?
2. How do we select a pair that would be good for breeding? Fastest growers? Fattest? Best Foragers?
They're all on pasture, free range at this point (5 weeks old) and there are a few that I'm eye-balling to keep.
This is our first go-around with meat birds. We're old hat with layers at this point.
Thanks!!!
