Crowing
I was after a batch of olive eggers. I'm keeping this group separated from the other egg layers. Some of the feather pattern and colors of this batch are stunning. ![Smile :) :)](/styles/byc-smilies/smile.png)

So do you control their feed where they forage a lot? Most "people" already have them butchered at that age. Do you know their present weight? When do you plan to butcher? Thanks
I control there feed intake by feeding them a set amount of feed once a day. Other than that if they are hungry they have to go forage and find there own food like chickens. I don't know a current weight on them but most would put a decent sized bird on the table. Since I am growing them out for a breeding project I have no plans to butcher them.So do you control their feed where they forage a lot? Most "people" already have them butchered at that age.

OK, interesting. So will you keep them or sell them after you finish your project? Can I ask----is your project anything to do with how these chickens can be fed less than most do and not get so big they can't hardly walk in 8 or 10 weeks, etc? I had a neighbor that raised some of these with no plans of butchering(he did not know they growed so fast)----he somewhat controlled the feed but his deal did not turn out good.
These are Cornish cross aren't they??
