This is my first time with chickens and I bought mine for eggs. My neighbors also got some chicks and decided they didn't want them so they have been in my dog kennel for the last few weeks. They were bought as day old chicks 3/25/2010. There chicks turned out to be meaties ( I thought there was something really wrong with them until I found this section on the forum). All 10 were butchered and skinned today and are doing their 24 hours in my fridge. I didn't lose any birds and they weigh approx. 3 lbs. Looks like chicken to me.
