Will be first process of Dels so I can't tell you dress weight yet.

Please report back when it comes time to butcher! (22 weeks?) Also curious about flavor/texture vs. other meat or DP breeds.

Will do. I know for such a young cockerel, the GLW meat was still tough. Good flavor though.

can you process and freeze then let it defrost 3 days in the fridge before cooking - would that yield same results ?

I have done it both ways it . The chickens are better aged before you put them in the freezer same with deer meat.
