Yes the novelty wares off... I bought 2 dixie rainbow meat birds... No idea the age but weight a good 5 lbs each... Their not likt the cornish x.. Been fully feathered fornthe month ivE had eM ARE LARGERthan most of my layers and still chirp. Ixed with peep...im like how am I gonna butcher a peeping bird lol!!!!Lol! Yes, I prefer the big girl sounds over the cheeps! Lol one of our BO girls is soooooo loud and talkative, all "awwwwk awwwk awwwk" and shes brushed off on the Barred Rock who now does the same. It sounds like they're complaining all the time!But I'd rather listen to that than the high pitched peeping sound. (Cute as day old chicks and then it loses its cute lol)
Since we've got such a small flock, my daughters (7yo and 4yo) as well as myself, get attached to them and its been brutal having to get rid of 3 roos this spring/summer...my 7yo especially, breaks her heart.
