Anyone weighed their chicks at two to four weeks old to see if they may turn out to be jumbo's? Mine are two weeks old and getting quite large, but I would like to compare weights with someone else that has jumbo birds. I never weighed my other birds when they were young since I did not have a scale at the time.
Not sure if the weight of a chick at two weeks of age will be representative of the final weight at adulthood, but it sure seems that it would. Of course, the males should weight a bit less than the females.
I went outside and weighed several. Texas A&M's 2.25 oz (some a bit more/others a bit less). Supposed Jumbo browns 3.25. They will be 2 weeks old Tuesday.
Not sure if this is normal, average, or above average for that age.
