Sally can you put them in a different run, and reduce their food intake, less feed more greens ? Maybe the legg won't be a big problem with a leaner body? Could it be some genetic problem with the original parents?I have an issue My project birds, the Males seem to have way to long legs or should I say skinny? for that heavy body and they all end up this way. I have grown out six now and I am purely frustrated. I love the hens are so pretty and lay such nice colored Huge eggs, but the meat end I am not sure about for the cockerels. They can make it to butcher but I want and need to breed back at some point again and I am not sure about doing that with legs like this... so confusing at this point!! But maybe instead of eating them all out of frustration I let one grow out past a year and see what I have? not sure that will change anything but if he dont get major leg issues I would be happy. I never weighed in the last ones we processed, but he already stands almost as tall as the giant brahma and he certainly puts them in their place too.
