Bird in hand I will refer you to my above post.

If you have something to contribute,get with it. The topic strays when NO ONE IS TALKING.

Speaking of which, I read the link I believe Linda posted. Has any one tried THE OTHER Cobb lines?

 

[JRNash]

I like dark meat,but the Cobb 700 is boasting the highest breast yield and best feed conversion. We all know about the 500 line. Does ANYONE have any experience with the 700.

 

[JRNash]

Typical. You complain. Then you don't do anything.

 

[JRNash]

Will probably send the surplus hybrids to camp sometime this weekend. The last two camp days I skinned and cut them up separating the white and dark meat. This time I will be doing the old boil and pluck. Gonna put them into shrink bags.I ordered a batch a while back. I will of course post pictures and the process weights. Maybe.lol

For the last week I've fed them only cracked corn.

Are these your crosses JR or bought in Cornish x

 

[Dave C]

My French Sasso hybrids look to be breeding true

I haven't weighed them but for 4 weeks they are very meaty.

I was unsure of the Sasso x Marans cross but they are widening up now and holding some meat much better than the pure Cuckoo Marans.

Dave that's great. Are your sasso the colored slowgrow variety?
