I'm with you I do like them.
They make me laugh. When running they have to use their wings to boost them. I kept some of the first batch which at 12 weeks I got 8 lb and 7lb and 6 1/2 lbs. I have 2 more girls that are 14 weeks and will be done monday or tuesday The longer you go the bigger the roaster you get. Very yummy

They actually start looking good again around 6.5 weeks.

Very true! I have mine (50) in a horse stall, and when I open the door in the morning, they fly at my face! I didn't know those things COULD fly.

Our meat birds try to eat my children now so the birds will have to go soon.

ok so i have a couple of meat chicks and they ar supposed to be cornish rock crosses. I would like to start my own meat chickens and breed them. Would i be a ble to keep these and breed them or keep them at all?

UPDATE on babies. 14 days old yesterday. These are all the same age; look at the size difference! And I found they stopped being cute at about 10 days old.

Also, I need to go get a weight on them.

Yours looks bigger and looks like it has more feathers than mine at the same age (2 weeks). I agree they need to be moved out now... We should have the new baby coop done for them in the next couple days, thank goodness!
