This happened many many years ago, my parents decided to get 50 black sex links and 50 Dom.'s (all pullets) and so they ordered them and the hatchery sent 2 extra's which were Dom. roosters, well they all grew up to be very FAT and large chickens! The 2 roo's actually were the size of turkeys! They were feed lots of cracked corn and the hens got laying pellets, plus they free ranged all day and ate lots of goodies from the garden and the near by woods! Well my sister moved 2 houses down and her daughter Samantha would come to our house to see my parents (her grandparents) and I. Samantha was 5 so was about 3 ft tall and both of our roo's were as tall as she was! Well every time they would see her come up the drive they would chase her and well one day they actually caught her and my mom who weighs about 100 pounds wet said and I quote, "THATS IT that baby will not go through that again (and a few other words)". Mom walked outside and grabbed Samantha put her on the pourch walked out in the yard grabbed both roosters (they were so tame to us and would walk right up to us with no problems) by the neck one in each hand and started swinging them around like pom poms! Mean while Samantha started screaming "LOOK, LOOK grandma is a chicken cheer leader!". The BEST chicken and dumplings EVER!!!!
We dressed/cleaned them and dad weighed them and honestly the largest weighed after dressing them 14.6 lbs. They were just as yellow from the cracked corn that they ate! Makes my mouth water thinking about it!
Samantha to this day and she is 26 yrs old and a mother of 3 hates chickens and when ever she comes to my house she is like LOCK THEM UP!!!!
