I have limited space to work with, but I've built up a good bantam layer flock of (pet quality) seramas and bantam turkens. I've processed the cockerels when they got too numerous or too loud and had good results. A couple of four month old cockerels makes a nice big pot of soup for myself and my wife. I'm planning to add some Cornish bantams to the mix now, because the meat was good but obviously sparse with such small and relatively slim birds.
What age should Cornish bantams be processed, and what is their growth rate like?
Can anyone tell me how they do in a mixed flock?
All my current birds have been chosen for good temperaments. I haven't had any major bullying or aggression issues with them. My previous large fowl were a disaster and eventually started killing each other, so I'm a bit nervous adding a meat breed, even if it is a relatively small one.
Thanks!
