Hello. I have a dozen juveniles I purchased the first week of March. They were said to be Cornish cross broiler birds. Which was great. I wanted to raise and butcher in a short period of of time.
Fast forward 3 months now. These birds are way too fine bodied
to be a meat bird, even on broiler feed. I think maybe they might be leghorns? Or something else. AAK!
Anyway I am NOT set up to keep 12 more birds permanently. I would like to see about rehoming some. But I need to know if they look like hens or not. Only one actually has red on its face. Rest are just turning pink. I'm guessing they're 14-15 weeks.
Loading 2 pics of the darkest faced one and then a group shot of what the others look like. Excuse the messy coop. It was early. I cleaned right after I took photos.
