My chickens are going to camp Saturday, I figured their cost, I have almost 7 bucks into each bird.

My welp slow broilers will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. They are feathering out nicely but most assuredly do not have the growth curve of the CX. I'm very happy with them though. Im currently feeding once a day all the 24% chick starter they can stand. Absolutely no health issues to report. Im very curious. To weigh these guys at 8weeks

 

[JRNash]

I'm. Thinking these will be a 12 week process date

I'm interested to hear what your dressed weights are, Ralphie. The biggest hen I got at 12 weeks was about 7 pounds.

Looking at my 3 week old birds bouncing around the yard, it's hard to believe that they will be that big in a couple of month.
