. Sorry. My be one day i will learn more, and contibute more.

I've read that the net weight is about 70% of the live weight.

I've read the net weight (or dressed weight) is usually about 2/3 of the live weight. Don't worry about asking questions, that's what this forum is for

And look at page 20.

You can caluclate it from there.

Looks like a 2 kg live weight bird will yeild about 1.4 kgs eviscerated.
