Yep, & hopefully they yield a decent amount of meat.

are you planning on breeding out the leg feathers? Or is it much of a muchness?

Leg feathering isn't an issue. It's very skimpy anyways.
After this test run of these, I'll be keeping a couple back to breed from next batch.

Here they are outside for the first time.

Amongst the mix is Two Heritage Plymouth Barred Rock/Malay mix pullets, a Heritage Plymouth Barred Rock/Silkie Mix Cockerel, & a Marans/American Gamefowl/Heritage Barred Rock X Easter Egger mix(The White one).
