Experience with Color Yield Rangers

[Etorb1]

So last August we raised 15 Cornish cross with good results. This year we ordered Color Yield Rangers. The chicks are about 3 weeks. I am noticing that they seem more aggressive than the cx. They peck my have when I put the food in the brooder. I will move them to a tractor as soon as it is warm enough here. I am wondering if they will bother my layers if I let them out of the tractor to free range sometimes. Has anyone noticed the rangers being aggressive? What other things have you noticed about this breed? TIA.

How are your chicks doing?

So far so good. They are getting pretty big. They are almost 8 weeks now.

Here are a few pictures of their size now.

Did any of yours crow before butchering?
