Help Rumpless TSC birds

Red Rangers, huh. Those are meat production birds. How big are the ones you've got? 

The red rangers are @ 5 lbs already. We feel bad for them because they cant run or walk very far without having to sit down and rest. They are going to give them as much of a quality of life they can because they were supposed to be pets.

The best thing you can do for them is to butcher them.

I had Cornish Cross as pets, but they lived for a year. They are actually very sweet, though the cocks can be aggressive (I had three, not a good thing!). Don't feed them too much, though, it can lead to health problems.

My Rangers move around like "normal" chickens. They don't sit down to rest. You may be feeding them too much.

All the chickens free range and really are not fed much...so other than lock them up, which would be worse for them, we don't have an alternative. They are all roosters, but for the time being, aren't aggressive
