Ok my turn What are these?

[jerseyjeff]

Bought by my SIL at TSC. Was told they were all hens


Four of them look like this

One looks like this

And this is the only dark one

 

[Year of the Rooster]

The darker one is a Dark Brahma, and looks to be a pullet. The rest are broiler (cornish cross) chickens; aka meat birds.

So that means roosters?

 

[Sorin]

I think they mean they are raised for eating, I dont believe they were referring to gender. Cornish crosses grow fast! So they can be used for eating, they generally don't live past a year left on their own. However, I have never raised meat birds so I could be wrong.

 

[CayuseRanch]

I believe that means of the 5 white you have 4 cockerels and one pullet, but they believe the white is a cornish which means they are Heavies or meat birds not meant for laying.

Hmm I guess I now need to ask for recipes..... Glad I went to get the next 6 birds.........
