I just slaughtered my 3 roosters and one meat bird. the meatie weighed 5.5lbs at 7 weeks. So the others should be pretty big by next week, at least another pound or so. What a difference from the heritage breed roosters! The meatie is twice the size and meat! And the heritage light sussex were 3 months old!
