Got from the fair????????

[Illia]

Does no one else find it sad that something you WON at a fair is a very common breed of rooster?

I was actually thinking that--what a great way to get rid of your excess cockerals! Offer them up as fair prizes!

yeah I think they buy a mixed batch of roosters, easy way for them to make that $$$$

I won 2 chicks at the platte co fair when I was about 11-12. They ended up being a barred rock roo and a buff orpington roo. Luckily I already had a home lined up for them either way.

lol - A decent "dual purpose" bird isn't one bred from hatchery stock, sorry. Hatchery Australorps may still be a heritage breed, but they're not heritage bred. With their excellent rep for being layers, you're lucky to get a few pounds of meat off him.

And you are right, I'm just mentioning the sad truth that at least to me, that chick wouldn't make a very good meal.
