Had to check twice to make sure I had not miscalculated; this is a just turned 4 week old chick from Katy's Secret Mix

. [The chick in front is one of her EEs hatched the same day.] Check the shanks on this boy! He's been raised on 18% Grower and weighs exactly 2 lbs. at 4 weeks, 1 day. If you see her offering these up for sale, better jump on them with both feet!

ahh thanks for the shameless plug steve

he is a beauty though wow, excellent growth rate for a butcher bird, we'll have to see how big he gets and how long he lasts that's been my short fall so far.

p.s. that EE looks like it's out of my buckeye, that would explain how that brown egg got in there - she breaks into coops to lay her eggs and she has been exposed to the young Royal roo . . . will probably be a good hen.

Just wanted to give you all a heads up, if that's alright. I posted some of our Cornish project eggs.

Hey big, sorry I missed that auction! Just got back into town last night, but congrats to you, looks like it went well!

Such a nice day, and starting to feel a bit better from the bug that laid me low, so went out and snapped some pics.
