For certain breed!

Those are not White Rocks. They are Cornish Cross meat birds. Just thought I'd clear that up. White Rocks are totally different.

if i sell the birds to someone, how much should i sell them for? i don't want the meat from them at all. i want to get rid of them.

Did you feed them medicated feed? Recently? I think you have to not feed them medicated feed for at least a couple weeks before you butcher them.

I just figured out how much each of my meat birds costs me, not taking into account building their tractor or butchering. Just the price of the bird and food. I grew mine to 11 weeks or so, and it was about $11-$13 per bird. Since yours are younger, I would take about $3/bird off that.

The feed, if medicated, will list the withdrawal time on the bag's label. For instance Sunfresh Start and Grow with Amprolium has no withdrawal time.
