Meat Barred Rocks

[JoshRonin]

Its been a while, but at one time I was reading a post on this forum where someone had posted a link to a breeder of barred rocks. This breeder had been working on getting them back to a better meat bird instead of the egg layer that most hatcheries tend to sell. I remember it was a heritage, not a hybrid like the kosher kings. I know there is S&G who has worked on a heritage white rock, but I prefer the barred coloring.

Have my first batch of cornish x and have decided I don't want to do them again. Would rather find a breeder who's selective breeding birds for better meat production than go with Ferrari's that have so many mechanical issues.

There's a thread or two here dedicated to the bird. We've got some. They are HUGE.

Thanks.I didn't see where they offered chicks but I just emailed them. They're actually just an hour and and half away from me.
