Dilemma w my breeds of chickens

[Farmer_Dan]

;-} buyer beware when buying chickens out of the back of a truck!

yes, we love it here.

Here is one of the Truck chickens. She is in front of her nesting box, which is 14x14x14-- she can barely fit in it and usally her hiney is hanging out part way. So White Rock??

And here are 2 of the white ones, next to my Buff Orp, to also give you some idea of size. Thanks in advance for your ID's.

NOT White Rocks!

Cornish Rock Cross! Those are meaties, baby....

Sorry!

 

[ChooksChick]

Wow, those are some big girls!

 

[ChicKat]

wow, you have taken such good care of them that they are outlasting the normal life-expectancy for that breed. but they won't be long lived. Hopefully through something like craigs list or even here, you could find some birds to trade for.

The pictures are really nice---what good colors.

Great job with the pics--no doubt at all--Cornish Cross...meatie all the way!
Here's one of my dd's meaties from last years county fair--this was a day short of 8 weeks old, if that's any indicator, weighed in just under 8lbs...

I'm sorry love, those are meat birds.

Beautifully cared for and happy looking ones, but watch for leg problems, and trouble breathing. Many meaties just have a heart attack if they go too long.

Now time for auntie Saddi's word of caution, never pick up yellow chicks from feed stores, often it's a meatie, and as people handle chicks they put them back into the wrong bin, of course that's for next time as the guy at TSC directed you to the guy outside.
