Orpingtons?

One thing I wanted to add. Although I was disappointed with their size, I am very happy with the quality of the meat. The leg quarters were very, very good. They beat the pants off of any Cornish X leg quarter I have ever had. The meat was much darker and had a different texture than any other chicken I have ever eaten. I wish I could get quarters like that from a Cornish.

When I was a kid I can remember my aunt getting a box of 100 straight run Buff Orpington chicks. She kept the pullets for eggs and we ate the cockerels. They were delicious.

We are on our 3rd one. We must have done something wrong the first to times because it was horrible and tough. The last one I boiled then put on grill. The meat would not come off the bone bad bad bad. (they were 18wks and last was 26 wks) any suggestions? What am I doing wrong?

Orps are a good "dual purpose meat bird, especially if you like legs. Some people consider the white colored skin a drawback, though. Depends on what you are accustomed to, I suppose.
