And another Turkey
DD had the opportunity to sell a Christmas turkey but only had a few Tom's left she kept the biggest black tom for breeding and this boy gets to be the dinner guest, he dressed out at 17.65 pounds!

very happy with her results and happy with the shrink bags. Makes them look very finished and ready to sell.

I was not fast enough to get a photo before the wife put all the spices on: This is a Moyers CC male
processed @ 9 weeks old. Dressed weight 7.5 lbs. Feed free choice Poulin Quik Grow Broiler 20% From day one until butcher .
For reference he is in a 9x13 pan.
Soon to be put into the good old Ronco Rotisserie for 2 hours. Really impressed with the growth rate of these birds. First time I did the CC and will likely do more again.

He just about fills the Ronco

This was a non hatchery stock Brahma x Rhode Island Red mix grew much faster than my standard brahmas. Butchered at almost 5 months, the picture of the bird is about 3 weeks before I processed him.

10 month old standard bred Barred Plymouth Rock cockerel:

6lbs 1.5oz

I made a huge pot of stock out of him this last weekend, used my water bath canning pot as he was bigger than my stock pot. Got a quart zip bag full of breast meat, they were really quite a nice size for a DP bird. Canned 7 quarts of stock last night and have at least 4 more quarts left, might do that in pints tonight.

Nice looking bird! He does look filled out in the breast, no big keel bone prominently visible -- not a hatchery bird?
