Crowing
I free range my brahmas year round and provide standard 16% protein layer feed as a supplement. We butcher most between 4-5mos and body weights are usually 3-4lbs for females and 4-6l bs for the males. 1 yr olds about 4-5lb (F) and 7lb+ (M). We rarely keep birds much older than that any more but we have raised to full maturity and roosters can top 10lbs or more. Those are all freezer weights (plucked and dressed).
