Ranger Gord - what a hoot! He keeps showing up on the Murdoch Mysteries...great character!I kept 3 BO hens in a chicken tractor for several months. They are big birds. They would be good for meat. Even grazing in the tractor they ate a lot of feed. Way too much. They don’t lay that well and barely paid their way. While you could use them for meat, they would eat a lot of food over a much longer time than broilers. Perhaps they would make good breeding stock for a new hybrid bird. They were used to develop the Black Australorp which IMO is a much better bird. That’s the only good thing I have to say about them!
