Looks like a lot of meat on that bird!

Are they good eating?

He is heavy. I tote him around like a football. He will sit down in my lap at night and not move. I can leave my chair and when I return he will be just like I left him. He is rare jewel I got for rehoming him. I want to breed him to my Cornish x Rock hens. That would be a new meat bird with a big frame that can breed naturally.

Does he have a name?

They are not listed as a meat bird because it takes well over a year to mature. The Cornish breed shares some of his genes already from the Aseel breed.

He goes by Legs....

I want to order 3 pure Indio Gigante birds soon. I hope to get one of those 42" tall boys.

 

[Nomadicus]

He turns 8 months today or tomorrow give or take a day or two. Exact birthday is not exact but was hatched on the 8th of the month by a hen.

See he's not mean looking after a bit of sour mash and a 2 dollar drunk in process.... He has to balance his walk with his wings like a drunk does with his arms.

You gave the chicken sour mash?
