Thank you so much.
Love it when someone takes the time to go through the thread.
Really cool when they aren't a leghorn or genetics freak and still make it through.

I'm only genetics freak adjacent. I'm on the other end of the spectrum in breeds though. I like my hefty birds. They are tasty.

I had hefty birds (orps) that I got out of to concentrait on the leghorns. I liked them but wasn't impressed with the slow maturity rate and amount of feed it took to get them there.
Don't tell anyone but I actually still have a few birds that aren't leghorns. Here's a couple hefty ones.

Theyre still in the works. Didn't do much with them this year. I will next year.
Not easy to make progress with every project every season with limited pens, brooders, incubator space, etc.
Not to mention not owning a feed mill. Also Mare is constantly on me about quit hatching so many, you already have too many, you need to sell some, etc.

You left out the part where I said to move the MF to the top of the project list.

Also.... More heavy birds are needed.
