They're good on food but one of the feedstore owners (who didn't place the order) had a thought... I may have rcvd the broilers that process early. I get the names mixed and Ideal's site is down. McMurrays has two of the white frankens. One you can start at 6-8 wks for the itty bitty birds you see in the grocery store, or a cross that takes longer, grows slower and has less heart/leg problems. That would make complete sense, unless the birds look different besides size?
I'll hopefully talk to the owner that ordered today. If I hv the smaller birds I need to get rid of them ASAP. I'm high altitude so slowly kill them and there is no WAY I can talk my husband into processing them. It's too much work for that little amount of meat (he doesn't mind the bigger birds but still would rather gut an elk any day).
Would anyone want 9 birds (one is for nonhuman due to antibotics)? They were born 4/1, raised natural, off a light (except for cold nights here were it still hits 20).
I'd love to trade for a bag of Layena but could do free to anyone on this board. I'm not having the free chicken grabbers come scare the tar out of them, they'd for sure have a heart attack.
