Sounds good.
I see you have Brahmas, are you gonna use them? I'd suggest you do if you want birds heavier then 4.5lbs.
Yes, my Roo is currently breeding the Brahmas, and I'm incubating them, possibly successfully. My Brahmas LOOK huge. They don't weigh it though. I'd like to get some of their eventual size into the line, but with much faster maturity. Actually, best case, I get the Brahma pattern + Red, loose the feathered feet, move up maturity, and get more comb - to help them with the heat.
Maybe its normal for Brahma to kind of drag their @$$ to eventual weight, but these (other than intelligence and appearance, with which I am happy) have greatly underperformed my expectations. My Brahma are now 8.5 mo old, I'll have you a weight in a minute, don't mind the squawking! (Curious myself, after their last disappointing weigh in)
