Our Breasted Bronze are 7 months old, & ready for processing soon. We don't have a scale to weigh them, but have to estimate their weight by lifting them. I can't lift a 50lbs bag of chicken feed, & I certainly can't lift the turkeys.
Probably is turkey - you should see the size of their whole chicken here. I think they are just eager to cull and sell instead of putting the effort in to produce a 'real' bird.
Yeah. I find that strange.
Yeah, I know here they use meat bird hybrids and cull at 6 weeks. And with the 'whole turkey' I can see one site offering them in a range from 6-33lb. I've never seen one that big in the stores here.
Our store bought turkeys range from 15-25lbs, occasionally we see them at 32lbs.
I think the largest I've seen here was around 10lb in the store - clearly you can order larger, but as mentioned they're very pricey too. Just found an add for one - 8lb bird for $50US
That's an expensive bird.
Will it fit in the oven.....or will you part them out?
It'll fit. Last one we got barely fitted in the roaster.
I'm not one for a huge roasted bird,
