Easter egger roosters

[scooter147]

Any EE rooster eaters out there?

This year I ordered EE eggs, hatched 10 and LUCKILY I only got two roosters.
They were hatched April 6th so almost three months old.
I picked them up yesterday and man are they skinny. I was planning on butchering them late October or early November for soup.
My question will there be any meat on them by then or should I just cull them now and not waste the feed?
I assumed they would be a little on the heavy side and would make a good soup base.

If you segregate them and feed them Broiler Feed, they should fatten up some, but not like a CornishX. They will be Tasty though!

Butcher round 12 weeks, and you should be fine. I've eaten BR and RIR roos and they come out ok. You don't have to do soup, roos make good chicken tacos.
