I think someone was asking about progressive pictures. I have more in the Default Album on my profile page. For the older ones, you'll have to switch to the SFH Album.

Thank you!

Now I want to see your current babies that you said look identical to the Black Orps...

I googled that mountain region and knew you meant Canada. You have to contact the seller. One person has claimed roos get to 8.5 lbs although I find that somewhat optomistic; but I have yet to see.

I don't know live weigh, but had a 7 month old roo dress out to about 3 1/2 # last week. Wasn't fed as a meat bird just an extra.

That puts their live weight at 4.66 lbs or leghorn size. Are they really that small?

I contacted GFF: They said 6-7 lbs is average so 6.5 lbs. or almost 5 lbs dressed.

It was only 6 or 7 months, and not my largest. I only have a few at the moment and have little experience with them. I didn't butcher it, so I am going by what the person I gave it to reported.
FWIW, he said it was very good.

I processed two last week. One at 5+ months and the other at 8+ months. Both healthy and vigorous and looked to be good/normal sized. One weighed 3.5 lbs and the other 3 lbs fully dressed. They were very, very tasty, just little breast meat. Better in soup than as a roast, imo.
