Update on the Husky Red Broilers. After a couple of mystery deaths, some predator deaths and a playful puppy death, we processed twenty five Husky Reds at sixteen weeks old. They put 111.66 pounds in the freezer at a 4.46 pounds average. They were very active foragers and strong well muscled birds. They have nice yellow skin and a lot of dark yellow fat, the meat has good flavor and nice firm texture. They would leave s full feeder to go out to the pasture to eat bugs, seeds and grass. The growth rate is nowhere close to the Cornish X but I'm more interested in high quality healthy meat and insect control. We're planning a side by side comparison between the Husky Reds and the Cornish X in the near future. We plan to brine one of each together and cook them side by side, then do the taste test. I will update with the results.
