Getting weights today. They're now 9 weeks.

The cockerel I named Fat Boy. He's already a chunk. His body type reminds me of a Cornish X, but he's not as full in the breast like one.
 
They also finally learned what corn is. So that's good for when I'm ready to finish them before butchering.

If you had the space you could split these into two groups and really expand from there.
By the end of summer of next year you could have four broods out of the four meaties.
Pair them up, hatch half a dozen from each pair, separate and switch the roosters then hatch half a dozen more from each pair.
