let's show pics of our meaties with their age

Mine C X are two and a half weeks old. I can't believe how fast they are growing.

I butchered a 11 week old BO. I wish I had weighted him first. He sure looked a lot bigger with feathers. I don't think he weighs more than 1 1/2 pounds dressed.
How old are BO when they are big enough to butcher?

Yes that one does have a head it just doesnt look like it

We butchered a bunch of BR cockerels at 18 weeks, and they were pretty good. I canned them all, so don't know how tough/tender they would have been if they'd been frozen and used as fryers or stewed. They are delicious canned up!
