Rosambro???

[Bucky182]

Has anyone raised any of these meat birds or the freedom rangers? or the slower growing cornish cross before? If so do you have problems with fliping or them not having a bunch of feathers or other problems associated with cornish X?: They are sold by MT-DI in PA I believe.

I Googled "roseambro" and found nothing at all about chickens. I haven't heard of that breed or strain before, where did you hear of them? Do you have a website link? Are you sure of the spelling?

MT-DI sounds familiar? Who is that?

I was just in Quakerstown (Moyers) these last two days picking up 350 started pullets and drove the whole state of PA.... so I passed it somewhere.

What part of PA?

Do you mean the Ross Ambro ?

 

[dancingbear]

I Googled Ross Ambro, nothing there either, nor could I find anything about a MT-Di.

If memory serves , Ross was a leading poultry breeder and their old line of American broilers was called the Ambro . I don't know who owns Ross but I'm sure they have merged or been bought out .
ETA : They are now part of Aviagen , and their two broiler strains are the Ross 308 and Ross708 . I don't know if their phased out lines are still in use somewhere or not .

I see the spelling's been corrected, Rosambro chickens come up when Googled. Here they are. http://www.couleeviewfarm.com/Pastured_Chicken.html

Never heard of those, but if your looking for information I would contact the people in the link that Jen posted.... seems like they have experience with them.
