She's one of the originals I got from you Sam! Those boys are being nasty but she is very sweet.

Awesome! I love seeing my birds are still going strong. My flocks are revamping...cages filling up. Well dont have the cages yet but when I do...they will be full lol.

I have bought Jumbo eggs from many breeders over the last two years, and I must say the largest adult birds came from SamG.

I ordered 50+ eggs from Lake Cumberland and they were "Jumbos" or they were supposed to be, they ended up getting to around 8-10oz.

I suggest that when I comes to eggs, buy them from a small breeder.

Me too... LOL

I need to get me one of those scales!!! I never thought of putting them in a bowl! great idea!!! I have a few that are fairly large and hefty but I have no clue how much they weigh

I also bread for larger birds I'm getting ready to build them some new breading cages as soon as it gets a little warmer...

Anyone notice a change to the taste of the meat if you bread the A&M with other breeds?? I started with the A&M because they are supposed to be all white meat but I really like the look of the Tibetans and want to breed some of those as well...

I know the females are the big beefcakes... LOL but what is a good size for the males to keep as a breeding male? all of mine seem to be about half the size of my gals!

I have eggs available if anybody wants. Just PM or (preferably) email me. I haven't noticed much difference between the males and females as long as they are over 10 weeks of age. Earlier than that and they are just little tidbits

I only have the jumbos, never had the A&M's.
