I always did a 25 chick order. Most got processed as fryers but I always kept a few to make 10 lb. roasters from.

I think my extra cockerels from my legbar project are tastier.

I like my little guys! Great fryers.

I brown them and then cook in the pressure cooker. They taste great that way, and are pretty quick.

There are other states to live in. I saw a craigslist ad for 30 acres with a mile of highway frontage west of the airport for $100,000 this morning. Of course it is bare land.

I paid $1,500 per acre for the 5 acre lot next to me because it has no access.

I checked off 'other'. Mongolian x Chinese Ringnecked. Yeah, takes longer than other meat birds to obtain their mature weight but I don't mind spending a little more on feed for a fantastic tasting 7 to 8lbs. bird.
They do mature a little faster than a common ringnecked and are a pound to 2 pounds more meat.

Yeah, my reg ringnecked birds weight around 4.5 to 5lbs. which is a decent size bird but they lack the same flavor of that the cross.
