We sent our 2 welsummer roosters in with our cornish x to get processed. They were a year old, processed weight was 4 and 4.5lbs. I roasted them low and slow according to an antique cookbook recipe. They were definitely a different texture compared to cornish x, but no where near as tough as what I was expecting and loads of flavor. Looking forward to the rest of my heritage experiment to be ready for tasting. All birds are hatchery stock, I have speckled sussex, silver laced Wyandottes, 1 barred rock(got mixed in with Wyandotte on accident) delaware, and a few red sex link roos. They should be ready middle of July. I am considering getting some birds from Freedom Ranger hatchery next year. Any suggestions as to what breeds or hatchery to try next year.
