Colored Rangers Grow Out Journal/ Video Added pg 11

[PurpleChicken]

Cornish Cross's grow faster than Colored Range Broilers. There is no
disputing that.

No feeding restrictions are required with Colored Ranger Broilers,
formerly called Freedon Rangers.

This thread is a good place to ask questions about Colored Range Broilers
but we should not get into a debate about Cornish vs Rangers here.

Check out this thread for good comparisons. Brunty, Bossroo, Greyfields,
myself, and many others debate the qualities of each bird. There is a lot
of good stuff there.

Brunty is an experienced Cornish raiser and prefers that breed as do others,
all of which are incredibly knowledgeable.

For the record, I have raised both and plan to raise both again.

This thread is a good place to ask questions about Colored Range Broilers
but we should not get into a debate about Cornish vs Rangers here.

Well said, I just wanted to do a grow out journal on the colred rangers as I and alot of others here have had tons of questions and I thought I might be able to help some by doing this, not debate which is better.

For the record, at 14 days I would have been right at about 60-70 lbs of feed. I also feed 24 hrs a day never restrict them until I see that I have to.

Can we please not do any debating here on breeds, just watch them grow and ask any questions you see fit


THANK YOU AGAIN IN ADVANCE​

This is a great thread. Been trying to decide on which meat bird to try. First time. Anxious to see the updates. Thanks for all the conversation.

Not saying they're better.... just a comparison for those who havn't seen both.

I'm interested in this journal as well... I can't wait until they older.

I'm sorry, I was just wondering

I love that Harp is doing this, I also cannot wait until they get bigger.

No need to be sorry. There is a group of friends here who love to
debate meat birds. It's fun but needs a thread of it's own.

Check out that link. You'll love it. The birds are so very different.

Just a question, if you purchase Rangers, can a Red Ranger male breed with a Red Ranger female to produce red ranger chicks?

No, Rangers are a cross just like Cornish X and don't breed true. You
would get a mix of genes from both parent breeds.

That was the first question I aksed the old producers of Rangers.

 

[lowcountrypoultry]

Do you know what they would cross to get them?

I would imagine something that was imported..
