My almost 4 month rooster is about 3+ pounds, the girls aren't too far behind.

He should weigh more then that at 4 months old.

My 2 cockerels weighed over 3 lbs by 9 weeks. I haven't weighed them since then, but they are 15 wks and much larger now.

This is a pic I took yesterday. For reference, that's a SFH in from of him that was hatched nearly a week prior.

My SBEL's were yellow when they hatched.

Yikes! I could be super wrong, it was just by eyeballing him the other day. I should bring a scale down to the farm.

My boy is quite heavy. Haven't weighed him but I was impressed when I picked him up.

Sah,

How is your son doing this morning?

Thank you so much for asking. He is doing... Ok. We stayed home, which means I got a whopping two hours of sleep, but he never got worst. Today he is acting just like he always does, playing and running around like normal, but he still is breathing harder than normal. He isn't coughing as much, but his cough isn't as dry as it was yesterday, so I think that is a good sign he is congested and its starting to work its way out.
My husband had scheduled today off to go to the drag races with him. They are staying home, but I am so relieved he is here with me instead of being alone the whole day.

I'm so glad he's doing better! Sounds like he is doing well if he's up and playing around.

From what I've read, the black bresse might be good dual purpose birds since they lay more eggs and larger eggs. However, white is a preferred color for meat birds and the white bresse tend to be meatier anyway. Does anyone know about what they weigh at maturity (pounds)?

Thanks!!!
