I hope so. I’ll let you know what I receive... I’m probably a couple weeks ahead of you on arrival of the set.
Yes that’s right... I had forgotten that part.
I’m thinking maybe Buckeyes. I have some I got this spring and I really like them. Apparently they were at one time a popular meat breed. I’m not for sure settled on them and I think I’d have to locate some breeder quality lines rather than the hatchery ones I’ve got. My other thought is Black Copper Marans and/or standard Cochins. I also got some of them this spring. The largest male is the Cochin and he’s also a really nice boy.Hi! I actually did look on eBay yesterday and found the good Chinese kits and ordered twoI got the smaller sets. They were $13-some each and like $3 shipping, I figured at that price, on a slow boat from China, I might as well order a spare while I was at it.
I know I read through the whole thing (I think!) a couple years ago, but wasn't ready to pursue back then. I'm in the process of reading through it all again. Really interested to see if anyone had luck doing pullets, too. Hardly anything at all online about poulardizing. I'll definitely be your buddy!
I'm not entirely sure which chicks I'll do this with. I have some breeding plans in mind for the spring. Have pullets with a comb deformity that I want to test breed and see if it's something I can eliminate in one breeding, so if any of those throw cockerels with the deformity, I'd definitely try it on them. Otherwise, I'm kind of thinking about something like the slow broilers or rangers. Looking at the D'Artagnan (fancy food) website and the capons they offer, it looks like they're using Red Rangers, though I could be mistaken. Maybe practice on less valuable chicks and then do those when I'm pretty confident. See how the carcasses differ. Because I'm pretty sure "way back when" they must have been using Rocks or similar, so I assume that's what they're supposed to taste like. I have Heritage Barred Rocks.
You probably found some info I missed. Did it list the weights of birds for using the kit with?
Yes. It says 0.5 - 1.5 kg. That's a small chick.
Oh! I don’t know why I couldn’t/can’t find that info. This makes me Happy!
I thought we weren’t going to be able to get that size. You know, I downloaded an app to my iPad and can’t see as much on the app (which opens automatically sometimes) as in my browser (Firefox). I wonder whether I might not see even more on my regular laptop, but the hinges are broken so I’ve just been using this iPad. Anyway, thanks! Good news!
I am such an idiot! I totally skimmed over and ignored the numbers. If they had said “for chick(en)s weighing .5-1.5kg” I would have seen the numbers. I think I assumed that was the shipping weight and so I ignored it, even the fact that there was a range given. I am so embarrassed! 
I have a long-standing habit of disregarding numbers. Please don’t judge me.
