First Run of Cornish Cross Meat Birds and Super Excited!

[Dave C]

The Sasso Gallic I kept back for breeding and the Buff Rocks all went into a larger permanent house last week.
Let them back out to free range today.

Gallic Pullets



Buff Rocks at the back


This Gallic Pullet is a very nice Salmon colour





I have high hopes for this cockerel over the Farm ranger hens

Tried the first chicken for our dinner yesterday
Had us 5 and Dad over and it tasted lovely, loads of flavour, plenty of breast meat and went down well with a bottle of red.




Very pleased with the end result.

 

[Dave C]

The good thing with the Sasso Gallic is you can feed them ad lib, but these Farm Rangers I have coming through eat a 3rd more food and would eat a lot more if I let them

 

[Dave C]

Weighed the Sasso Farm Rangers today at 6 weeks they average 1.36kg  
Which is about 300g more than my Sasso Gallic did at that age.




Check out his blue eyes

Looking really good!
My ones look different colour though.
I'll take some pictures tomorrow after work.
