Do these broilers look normal??

Meat birds grow really fast, so fast that sometimes their feathers can’t keep up. Personally (and this is just my opinion, nothing at all against meat bird keepers) I don’t think it’s normal or natural, and id rather wait extra time before processing and have happier birds than have it move so fast.

Thanks everyone-our butcher took them early (yesterday) and said they looked great. Yup, close to 6#. Due to bad heat for almost 2 weeks beginning of July we moved them out of the coop and into our garage for the last month. They had a pretty darn good 7 week life.

Nice!
