They dressed out at 4.5lbs! Trouble is it takes 16 to 18 weeks to get that big. I do not cull before then anyways. I am spending about $120.00 a month on feed right now, and just hatched new chics! Always looking for a better cockerel! TOM

So then not exactly cheaper than just buying it ...Flavor must be better though ?

I'm actually a vegetarian lolol however I did use to be quite a meat foodie ,I love to cook . My husband however is not but I still cook for him & I was thinking some of our birds might be nice but wasn't sure if it was actually worth it cost wise ? Flavor must be quite different I'd imagine given the processing factory farm stuff gets . I'd probably eat an animal I raised myself that would be easier for me

You can always buy cheaper NOT WHY WE RAISE MARANS nothing cheap about IT TOM
