Ok so I have a broody hen under a shed and unreachable, so I can’t check how many eggs she is sitting on. I also have some eggs in an incubator. At this point we already have 2 Roos and can’t add any more. So the plan is as soon as we know any of the chicks are Roos to separate them and treat them as meat birds…
Here is where the problem starts. We have a very mixed flock and no idea who the parents are of any of these eggs. Roos are a RIR and SF, hens are BO, Cali grey, Cali white, EE, SF, and Ancona. Would any of these mixes possibly not make a good meat bird? Also at what age do we cull?
