Black mottled Pekins are small gentle birds that make good mothers. These chickens have very attractive feathers and are good layers, providing a small egg per day, weather dependent.

650 lbs in a month??!!!
Do they free range at all? Even so, that is a tonnnnnn of food!
I have had 20 LF three turkeys 30 quail and three ducks plus a brooder full of chicks and I used MAYBE 200 lbs a month. I have cut back incredibly- no turkeys or ducks, 16 chickens, 30 some quail and chicks and I use just about 125 lbs a month.
All the chickens free range though, the quail and chicks go through the most

No they dont get to free range at all. To many dogs running around. Thou this summer i am gonna turn them out for a couple hrs a day. I'll have to watch them closely and be ready to fire at anything that trys to attack.

It's a treat to go out to do the barn chores when it is in the 20's! Of course it warms up after I went out and bought a propane heater to try to take some of the deathly cold out of the barn during evening chores... It has been either below zero or in the single digits for the past several days. Bought the heater yesterday, then tonight, it was in the 20's.... Felt downright warm!
