LOL. you are like reading my mind!!!!!
I just updated my experiment post while you were updating this one. Go have a read. We need to live closer together.
You have any pure red lace wyandottes? I'm looking for a few eggs for just such experiments.
Sorry I reread and see yours are all chicks. Where did you get them from? I'm currently doing that very thing with my girls and my maran roo. Although I had 5 roo's in there 4 have been sent to freezer camp. I think I sent the wrong one though. I sent a barnvelder who was a big boy at 18 weeks, dressed to 4.5 lbs I think, dang didn't write it down. But his testes were very large so he might have been the one's fertilizing my girls. I also killed 3 americana roo's which had under developed testes (or maybe not no expert here). My husband will be laughing his head off at me if it turns out I hatch 9 EE's for meat. Though the americana's tasted great of course not much meat. The Barnvelder had a far superior flavor in my opinion but I'm sure some would not like it as it was 'chewier' but chewier than mushy white CX breast meat doesn't mean tough. I enjoyed it. I felt like I was eating something and the taste was very flavorful. I put some in a curry and you could still taste the chicken. It was worth the extra expense raising DP's will cost me.
