Granny's gone and done it again

I have heard they are all dark meat.

NOPE just like a "store bought" only smaller breasts and the drumsticks are VERY tuff and full of sinew. GREAT flavor tho. "we' shot a 24 lb tom and a 14 lb hen one year. They sound like a helicopter when they take off.
 
We moved our 3-week old chicks to the outdoor brooder this evening. Mixed feelings! I'm happy to have them, but it means it's only weeks till I have to say goodbye to my 5 Brown Leghorns and 7 or 8 EEs, all nearly 3 years old. Replacing with 6 EE and 4 DomI pullets. Also have 6 Domi cockerels. Two or three of them are biting me already! There are also two nearly white EEs that are slightly bigger than everybody else. Will have to wait n see what these two are.

Yay!! Please try to get pictures! Rose combs are interesting to sex! Not that it would help anyways, but its fun to see how they develop!
