Just finished processing an overdone Cornish x. A few of these got away from me and I've made my New Year's resolution which is to finish processing this week. I have 7 left after today, I think they're 14 and 12 weeks of age or thereabouts. Then, I have 6 red broilers after that.
Anyway, after finishing the one with a bad leg, which is what got me started, i grabbed the biggest roo. I could barely carry him over to my processing area!
After getting him all ready for the fridge, I finally found my new handy-dandy fish scale, got the triple-a batteries stuck in and weighed him. All dressed and ready for brining, this mam,oth was 11.95 pounds!
No wonder he was skiing sideways down my slippery ramp when it rained last week! He must of weighed at least 15 pounds " on the hoof".
