English Orpington carcass. First time I ever butchered my own! This one was just shy of a year old. Picture doesn't show it...he was the size of a small turkey! Roasted in a big roaster and stuffed him! AWESOME!Got it. I've decided to shy away from DP birds because the cockerels don't have much meat. I'm going with more meaty breeds (Cochin, Cornish) and I want to get a good egg layer that isn't your standard leghorn. I love the meat I get from my Dark Cornish.
