First timer with meaties!

[newchickmom]

We just processed our first batch of 10 meaties!

I was amazed at how big they turned out.

After processing, we had weights of 5lb 9oz all the way up to 7lb 12oz with the average being 6lb 8oz. They were 9 weeks old.

We did lose 1 that somehow died during the night before processing. Must have been heart failure from knowing what was comming.

Thats Great! my 60 are going to the processor this evening - i'm hoping that there are none with fluid in the cavity and none die on the way to heart attacks. I will be glad to be finished with them, as I worry way too much.
