Bill, do you have a marker for all the unwanted males?

Not really Don. A few expressed interest.

It takes so long for a orp male to grow out. We have a chicken auction here in Oklahoma down SW of OKC and I took some down 2 weeks ago. The orps did good, or I think good. $18 and $19 each. I think I had 9 pullets and 5 males all young or this years birds. I gave some away earlier to some of my former ag boys and they have a cooker called a green egg or somethig like that. They claim they was good cooked in it. I guess they weighted 6 or 7 lbs.

It may take up to a year and a half to really know which are the few I want to use.
